West Coast, Messed Coast™ — And YOU Get a House! A Race-Based Free Down Payment Grift Becomes Law
https://pjmedia.com ^ | April 25, 2025 | Victoria Taft

Every week, it seems there’s a contest between the states on the West Coast, Messed Coast™ to out-woke each other, and this week is no different.

Washington leads the way again this week, with Democrats doing everything in their power to kill business and get rid of the riff raff normies by making it so expensive that people will be forced to leave.

Things are looking up for black Washingtonians, however. Free down payments for houses!

Oregon’s two-tiered school system is in full flower with astonishing race-based spending.

And did you hear the one about California Gov. Gavin Newsom promising to get rid of gas and now pretends to wonder what happened to all the refineries? Weird, that.

Let’s get started.

And YOU get a house! This week, Washington State Democrats approved a race-based free down payment bill giving black and other minorities forgivable (free) $120,000 down payments with 0% financing to buy a home. These are housing reparations pure and simple. Reparations, if you will, for people who have never suffered from housing discrimination.

Basic psychology insists that these homes will become rubbish in short order. If they did not sweat and labor to buy these homes, they do not have the emotional attachment to keep them up.

The landlord can tell you that.

Plus, these people are largely of a character to not care about much beyond personal comfort.

Didn’t racial discrimination in real estate used to be unconstitutional?

being White, no one other than friends and family have ever given me anything. I’ve had to work very hard for everything that I have.

Reparations by another name. A total disaster. When you pay people just for having a certain skin hue and/or certain facial features, you create a permanent dependent class — you’ll have to pay them and their children for ever for generation after generation without end.

Maybe not constitutional but illegal under the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s.

History will prove you right again. All housing projects started as new buildings which deteriorated so badly in the first year, that many stopped fixing things...

How often do we now see unconstitutional acts go unpunished?

The Bill (HB 1696) is for people that lived in the state prior to 1968 AND their descendants that also lived in areas where neighborhoods had rules against minorities living in them. I would think that American Indians will benefit more from this than anyone else. I’m thinking not too many blacks lived in the Seattle area back then. The bill also talks about discrimination based on sex, not sure how that works. Maybe neighborhoods didn’t want a house owned by women thinking they were a risk without having an income??

It is for first-time home buyers only.

The loans are available to those listed above if they “only” make $146,000 a year or less! If they make less than $100,000”, and they don’t make payments for a period of 5 years the loan is forgiven. (Or something like that, the wording of the bill is difficult for me to understand).

It is in pdf format on the WA government website.

This will be one of those things where in 5 years there will be articles about how despite being funded with millions of dollars of tax-payer money, relatively few have benefited from the program, and wondering where all that money went. (I wonder if the sponsors of this bill will also be on the Home Loan Commission?)

Unconstitutional.

It will not be allowed to stand even though it's California.

My grand father and dad built homes in a nice neighborhood during WWII and afterwards. I don’t know if they knew about it, but Jews were not allowed to buy there. That rule was officially taken off the books maybe 10 years ago. Although it sounded like it had not been noticed or enforced for decades.
