The Obama administration unveiled new rules Wednesday to rid the country of racially segregated neighborhoods by directing cities and towns to set goals for reducing segregation, and then regularly report their progress to the feds.
Communities nationwide will be given a series of questions designed to help them figure out whether racial bias is causing segregated neighborhoods, racial or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, unequal access to opportunity or disproportionate housing needs in their jurisdiction. They will be required to set goals related to that data and publicly report on their progress every three to five years.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development rule is intended to prod communities to meet fair housing standards established in the Fair Housing Act of 1986, by making previously unavailable or unreliable data accessible to the public, which could then use the data as an impetus for change.
The Fair Housing Act requires the government to not only eliminate racial discrimination in housing, but also to encourage racially integrated neighborhoods.
This is the most serious effort that HUD has ever undertaken to do that, HUD Secretary Julian Castro told The Washington Post. I believe that its historic.
HUD will compile the data into a central database where anyone can look at the mapped data and determine what kinds of changes need to happen in their community. HUD will support communities working to integrate and federal dollars will be on the line.
The rule follows a Supreme Court decision, based on the Fair Housing Act, that any housing policy that disproportionately impacts minorities can be targeted in a lawsuit, regardless of the intent of the policy. It could indirectly force some states to move Section 8 housing to high-income suburbs.
I cannot wait until Martha’s Vineyard has to build Section 8 housing on the beach.
So we can go to our phone's map app and know the skin color of the occupants in each house? And then cross-reference that with the crime locator function . . .
You first, racist Commie.

THAT^^ will NEVER happen. The ruling class/elite are exempt.
From the people who brought you the 0CommieCare website...another database - with all of your personal information - for the ACORN peeps to manage.
Making the rest of America look like Detroit.
Well that’s kind of what happened to us. 20 years ago we bought a nice house in a country club neighborhood. Was as white as white could be all around the neighborhood. Mexicans moved into the black part of town and the blacks moved out. Problem is they all moved into apartments along a Main Street that borders our neighborhood. Now it looks like Africa over there. Not a white face in sight.
Problem is every once in awhile they venture into our neighborhood to burglarize the homes so now we all have alarm systems and if we see one walking through the neighborhood watch them like Hawks.

They’re building lots of new apartment complexes near Katy TX. This is an upscale, suburb of Houston. Good schools, nice - very nice homes.
I have a feeling these apartments somehow will be a part of 0blama’s reintegration to the burbs plan. The crime rate has already gone up, considerably, just in the last 6 months.
LOL
These commie MF’s are cruisin for a brusin.
I don’t take orders from the resident halfafag, halfrican, muslim, commie usurper aka ZERO. Never have, never will.
Orders? nobody elected his dumb ass dicktater. I order the faggot to prison!
Encourage = Force. i.e. Section 8 Housing will be built in your middle-class neighborhood.
...directing cities and towns to set (integration) goals...
I saw this in the USMC in the late 70's. All units had to have written goals to promote a percentage of blacks, equal-to or greater-than the percentage of blacks in the unit. Then inspectors were sent around to review the written goals. And units had to report, quarterly, how successful they were at achieving their goals. Commanders were told that their Fitness Reports "would reflect" any failure in that regard.
