HUD revokes Obama-era rule designed to diversify the suburbs

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration said Thursday that it is revoking an Obama-era housing regulation designed to eliminate racial disparities in the suburbs, a move that fair housing advocates have decried as an election year stunt designed to manipulate the fears of white voters.

In a tweet addressed to "The Suburban Housewives of America," President Donald Trump made his intended audience clear. "Biden will destroy your neighborhood and your American Dream," he said. "I will preserve it, and make it even better!"

Trump has repeatedly characterized the 2015 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation as an existential threat to the suburban way of life that will bring about more crime and lower home prices.

In a statement, Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said the regulation known as AFFH, was "unworkable and ultimately a waste of time for localities to comply with."

It will be replaced by a new rule that reduces the burden on local jurisdictions to prove that they are actively taking steps to address historical patterns of racial segregation in order to qualify for HUD financing.

Good.  Unfortunately, thanks to this rule and so many other rules and schemes before it, my little town has been decimated by an influx of resettled  "poor blacks," plus illegals and so-called  refugees.  We now have thoroughly trashed properties, with weeds and high grass everywhere, homes with doors hanging off their hinges, and worse, these "animals" (I can't call them "people") have taken to dumping their trash in my property.  The town put a trash can not more than a few feet from my driveway, but these people insist on throwing their trash in my property. 

One morning last week, I found a broken vodka bottle in my driveway -- glass fragments all over.  I had to sweep it up -- not easy to do with a cane and I was having a particularly bad time with my balance that day.  I'm guessing some idiot threw the bottle from a moving vehicle.  Too stupid or lazy to stop the car,  get out and put the bottle in the trash can.   

This town has always been a mix of white and black and for years, we never had any trouble.  It was a blue collar town, but like so many other industry-supported towns and cities, it has fallen on hard times.  But instead of spending money to make the town better, the powers that be have decided this is the perfect place to dump the stupid and lazy and all the people no one else wants. 

If I had my druthers, HUD and the rest of those do-gooder agencies would be axed.  If these people want better housing, let them work for it and make them take care of where they live  All these agencies are doing is ruining perfectly good neighborhoods, cities and towns through their social engineering schemes.

What happens when you put a clean kid together with a dirty kid?  Do you get two clean kids?  NO!  You get two dirty kids.

Bureaucrats think the clean kid will clean up the dirty kid, and it doesn't work that way.

No, I think these bureaucrats, most of whom are socialists/communists, want everyone to be the "dirty kid."   You see, no one is supposed to have anything better than the other person.  You have a nice property.  That's white privilege; it's offensive to the  black and other minority poor who have nothing.  So it's only right for your property to be trashed so it looks like every other property occupied by these poor people.  It will make them feel better about their situation. 

Social justice, or something.

Since it's impossible to arbitrarily "bring people up," they have to "bring people down" to "even things up."  That is their idea of "social justice."

I think you are exactly right @Applewood and one need look no further than the dumbing down of entire generations of public school graduates to see it.
