Obama Orders Cities And Towns To Racially Integrate !

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 it’s 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.

"They can force public housing into suburbs. That’s already happening in California in a different way with mandatory “below market rate” units in new housing/apartment projects to promote “economic” diversity."

I've read (something like) any housing unit or sub-division that has 20 units or more must include (some amount of) 'affordable housing' or the permit for the project will not be approved.

Everyone must have a poor minority family living next to them.

unequal access to opportunity or disproportionate housing needs in their jurisdiction. 

So Obama wants the GED grocery cashier and dropout bagger to live in the same gated community as the wealthy? That somehow the dropout was denied the same opportunities as the successful?

Nobody is going to fix that.

I would think that people are generally going to be around with people like themselves. I see this every day at work and other places I go.

I don’t really you can force someone to be with someone they don’t want be with.

[Ray76]

Of course. Because to a racist - such as Obama - EVERYTHING is due to race.

Oh, please do it in Malibu! Let Streisand live next door to Section 8! /s;)

[LukeL]

So any city with a black population of over 13% is racist correct?

[WTFOVR]

Oh, really?

Tell the seditious son of a bitch, and all his subversive clones, that he can go straight to the devil.

Try to enforce this absurd crock of tyranny, Mr. Obama - but make sure you bring an army with you, and plenty of body bags - for your side.

The time for shedding blood is fast upon us ... So, every last one of you who cherish freedom had best prepare to give these tyrants the full measure of hell they deserve - from the business end of a rifle.

Lol, no argument there!

"So, I have an interesting statistical question. Does anyone know roughly how many black people actually live in the US? And just how many towns/cities are there? And within those municipalities how many distinct neighborhoods?"

In my neighborhood, the cashiers are racially diverse. It's not race, it's age that drives the accumulation of wealth to afford the nicer neighborhoods. There is nothing that anyone can do about that.

....because forced busing worked out so well.

Do they even realize if all minorities are dispersed equally across the nation all their minority districts will go away? All those protected minority congress critters will be at risk........

There is no racial discrimination in housing. There is an economic barrier that applies to all races. You have to be able to make the payments. You live where your means allow. Pursue a good education, work hard, improve your income and you can live in places with a higher price point.

Obama doesn't want to play by the normal order. He wants to jam people who lack the income (for lack of effort) into neighborhoods beyond their means (except when forced by government edict or subsidized by other taxpayers). The concept of freedom of association and seeking an improved lifestyle by virtue of personal effort is beyond his mental ability to conceive.

“I’ve read (something like) any housing unit or sub-division that has 20 units or more must include (some amount of) ‘affordable housing’ or the permit for the project will not be approved.”

None dare call it extortion.

[plain talk]

and what if people just happen to choose to live among people of their own race?

[Gator113]

Obama can take his “orders” and stuff them.

[Political Junkie Too]

He wants to jam people who lack the income (for lack of effort) into neighborhoods beyond their means

Or he wants to force the wealthy into Jude ghettos, and let the "right people" move into the neighborhoods.
