Have you heard about President Obama and his HUD’s war on the suburbs? It hasn’t ended. It’s getting worse. I expect him to start saying “If you like your suburb you can keep your suburb” any time now.
The Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to launch a legal and regulatory assault on suburbs nationwide. HUD’s soon-to-be-released regulation, in the works since 2013, will compel affluent suburbs to build more high-density, low-income housing, plus, of course, sewers, water lines, bus routes and other changes needed to support it.
All in the name of housing “fairness.”
Obama’s social engineers will eliminate local zoning, such as one-acre minimum lots, to achieve what the HUD rule calls “inclusive communities.” Property values be damned.
If you’ve worked hard to afford a home in an affluent neighborhood of single-family houses, you have a lot to lose under this HUD plan.
The HUD rule twists the original and laudable intent of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which is to bar discrimination in renting, selling or financing housing.
The new rule states that towns must “affirmatively further” diversity. If low-income minorities want to move to a town but can’t afford it, the town must “provide adequate support to make their choices viable.” (Read More)
Who do you think is going to bear the cost of the new sewer and water lines? (Not to mention adding space and teachers to school districts.) It won’t be the low income tenants the communities are supposed to recruit, that’s for sure.
Oh, and who’s to say that low income minorities even want to move to the suburbs?
By extension, HUD is also compelling low-income minorities to live in overwhelmingly white communities, even though research has shown for decades that large majorities of blacks have no desire to live in all-white or even mostly white neighborhoods and strongly prefer to live where at least half of the other residents are black.

Well, President Obama and the bureaucrats in the federal government don’t care what the people want. They think they know better and can centrally plan the economy, local communities, health care, and everything else under the sun. Too bad for those who don’t like it, they get with the program or suffer the consequences.
