The Growing Assault on Private Property Are Single-Family Homes "Racist?"

By Tom Deweese —— Bio and Archives--February 4, 2019


The Growing Assault on Private Property Are Single-Family Homes Racist
One of the main indicators used by economists to measure the health of the nation’s economy is housing starts—the number of private homes being built around the nation. In 2018 housing starts fell in all four regions of the nation, representing the biggest drop since 2016.

While many economists point to issues such as higher material costs as a reason for the drop in housing starts, a much more ominous reason may be emerging. Across the nation, city councils and state legislatures are beginning to remove zoning protections for single-family neighborhoods, claiming they are racist discrimination designed to keep certain minorities out of such neighborhoods. In response to these charges some government officials are calling for the end of single-family homes in favor of multiple family apartments.

Meh, I"m not a fan of low density zoning myself, as it drives up housing costs.

It doesn't take too much foresight to see the authorities appropriating homes and bank accounts of older 'privileged' white folks.

Give that logic/story a couple quick laps around your mind.

What the fascists who cry racism about single family homes have in mind is to place people from the inner city into well to do suburbs. They believe that it's not fair that some people i.e white people get to grow up and live in nice places while others i.e. black people grow up in sh*tty neighborhoods which stay that way.
If the people (mostly black) who live in the bad neighborhoods are allowed to live in the better parts of town, they too will grow up to have more nice things like the people (mostly white) who grew up in the nice parts of town.
This is called the "magic dirt" theory wherein some people are only poor/deprived because they don't live in wealthy or better parts of their city/area.
This is similar to the forced busing of the seventies and eighties where the lib social "scientists" believed simply taking black kids out of  poor school inner city schools and placing them next to white kids in better schools would equalize the education outcomes for the black kids.
That didn't work. Neither will this scheme. When black families from bad neighborhoods move into white neighborhoods bringing their crime and other problems with them, the whites move out.
That is why you have Detroit and similar ever-growing blacker and blacker large cities with many mostly white suburbs on the fringes.
White people will not live with high crime rates and deteriorating housing values. They will always move when given the chance.
So all the social engineers from the quasi-Marxist liberal mayor of Minneapolis are doomed to failure with their rotten plans. Many people simply will not put up with trash for neighbors.

My home isn't racist, but it is peopleist.  I find I like people a lot better when I don't live close to them.
