If Westchester loses, it will have national implications. Because if a concept as arbitrary as disparate impact becomes the measure of discrimination, local authorities everywhere will have no effective defense against bureaucrats in Washington bent on finding racism to justify imposing their own ideological agendas.
I'd like to know are these section-8ers or their landlords also gonna cough up the dough for the privilege?
Obama , or more likely his bosses, miss nothing.
More of this to come. This is one of the worse consequences of the reelection of the 0ne.
what could go wrong?
...
I predict a 1960’s white flight from Westchester.
Isn’t high time that the government get’s out of our lives, our business, our religion and our houses.
It seems the only thing that the Lib’s don’t want the government in is the bedroom.
Welcome to the USSSA . . . comrade.
It's Agenda 21 and there's no way to stop it.
How can it possibly be legal to force landlords to accept Section 8?
I own 3 rentals in NY. My cash, my sacrifices, my work and skill go into these units, how in the hell can the G-D gub’mint require people like me to rent to people unwilling to get out of the damned ghetto on their own?
I don’t make a lot of money at this, I’ve bought the houses as a hedge against retirement poverty. Having Sec 8 people as renters would so lower the value of my properties.
I refuse to rent to them - how the tenants take care of their free apartments is disgustingly obvious at addresses that do.
I found they’re trying to force this in Maryland, as well. Is this the new trend?

Sen. Jim Brochin
A bill that would require landlords to accept tenants through the federal Section 8 program sparked a debate about civil rights on the Senate floor Tuesday.
The bill, SB487, is intended to prevent landlords from rejecting tenants that receive public assistance simply because they are poor. But critics of the legislation said that it would force landlords to participate in social welfare programs <
How does Westchester vote? Is there a R vs. D breakdown of how Westchester votes?
(shrug) I can tell you that in some neighborhoods, the “affordable housing” would get very, very expensive after it kept getting burned to the ground. Not that the Democrats care - - lol, it’s only other people’s money.
This is actually mandated in many, many places around the country...it is rarely enforced....or it was...
The local pols know it’s a death blow to their re-election if they comply with the mandates...
This is standard Democrat-President-second-term stuff. Clinton did it, Carter did it.
Johnson didn’t do it because he didn’t have a second term. During his first term, however, Democrat core constituents burned the cities they lived in. One side of the equation, in a sense.
There. I fixed it.
This is great news, all those leftists up there have been aiding fascists in the last few decades, now they get to really feel good. I hope they move one family next to each and every liberal there.
Tell HUD to screw off. Capitulation only emboldens them to make ever increasing demands.
“If you have something others have a right to it” is the credo of Democrats/socialists/communists - and thieves.
Please put it next door to the Clinton’s.
yet they say “no” to school vouchers...how very hypocritically liberal of them....
