How Obama Will Centrally-Plan Your Neighborhood: Here Comes The "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" Rule

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Because centrally-planning the market and the double seasonally-adjusted economy was not enough, the Obama administration is now set to create a wealth-adjusted community utopia. According to The Hill, the administration is moving forward with regulations designed to help diversify America’s wealthier neighborhoods, such as building affordable housing in more affluent areas.

The official title of Obama's latest proposal to have the government centrally-plan your community: The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, a name that only the person who penned the US Freedom Act could have come up with.

The underlying motive: "unfair" segregation sprinkled with a hint of latent racist guilt. "

A final Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule due out this month is aimed at ending decades of deep-rooted segregation around the country. “HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all,” a HUD spokeswoman said. “The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds.”

While the proposal would seek to downshift upscale communities, it would also gentrify poor areas:

The regulations would use grant money as an incentive for communities to build affordable housing in more affluent areas while also taking steps to upgrade poorer areas with better schools, parks, libraries, grocery stores and transportation routes as part of a gentrification of those communities.

But is Obama really going to build a project next to 740 Park Avenue? Not if Obama's wealthy backers have anything to say about it: "the proposal is drawing fire from critics who decry the proposal as executive overreach in search of an unrealistic utopia." "It’s a tough sell for some conservatives. Among them is Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who argued that the administration “shouldn’t be holding hostage grant monies aimed at community improvement based on its unrealistic utopian ideas of what every community should resemble.”

But why not? The market is already nothing but a wealth effect "policy vehicle" for what the Federal Reserve thinks a perfectly functioning "market" should resemble. Why not housing?

American citizens and communities should be free to choose where they would like to live and not be subject to federal neighborhood engineering at the behest of an overreaching federal government,” said Gosar, who is leading an effort in the House to block the regulations.

It appears that when central planning leads to disproportionate benefits to a select few, such as those 10% of the US population who have benefited almost exclusively from US "households" now owning $99 trillion in assets courtesy of the Fed, they are far more perturbed when that same central planning means sharing a neighborhood with some less savory elements.

To be sure, civil rights advocates are already praising the plan, arguing that it is needed to break through decades-old barriers that keep poor and minority families trapped in hardscrabble neighborhoods.

“We have a history of putting affordable housing in poor communities,” said Debby Goldberg, vice president at the National Fair Housing Alliance.

HUD says it is obligated to take the action under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibited direct and intentional housing discrimination, such as a real estate agent not showing a home in a wealthy neighborhood to a black family or a bank not providing a loan based on someone’s race.

Just think of it as a logical extension of Obama's "fairness doctrine", which as we have argued from day one, is only fair in the eyes of the supreme beholder.

“This rule is not about forcing anyone to live anywhere they don’t want to,” said Margery Turner, senior vice president at the left-leaning Urban Institute. “It’s really about addressing long-standing practices that prevent people from living where they want to.”

 

“In our country, decades of public policies and institutional practices have built deeply segregated and unequal neighborhoods,” Turner said.

And just to shut up critics, it is time to bring out old faithful: the racism card. “Segregation is clearly a problem that is blocking upward mobility for children growing up today,” Margery Turner said. Incidentally, Turner has an MA in urban and regional planning from the George Washington University. Designing the "perfect" neighborhood is a dream come true for anyone with her background and now she has the president's blessing. As for the fallout of what such a plan straight out of 1965 USSR would reap, well that would be some other urban planner's problem.

Others promptly took Obama to task for once again inserting the race card as a catalyst for this latest attempt at encroaching into the last bastion of free America: literally, its back yard.

Hans von Spakovsky, a fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, called the Obama administration “too race conscious.” “It’s a sign that this administration seems to take race into account on everything,” Spakovsky said.

A good summary of what will almost certainly end up happening comes from Paul Gosar:

Instead of living with neighbors you like and choose, this breaks up the core fabric of how we start to look at communities,” Gosar said. “That just brings unease to everyone in that area.”

 

“People have to feel comfortable where they live,” he added. “If I don’t feel comfortable in my own backyard, where do I feel comfortable?”

 

Critics of the rule say it would allow HUD to assert authority over local zoning laws. The agency could dictate what types of homes are built where and who can live in those homes, said Gosar, who believes local communities should make those decisions for themselves rather than relying on the federal government.

 

If enacted, the rule could depress property values as cheaper homes crop up in wealthy neighborhoods and raise taxes, Gosar warned.

But who doesn't want a government-mandated surge in crime? Then again, as with everything else by the administration whose shroud of TPP secrecy, as we learned yesterday, was dictated by the Big Pharma corporations who stand to reap huge benefits with its passage, there appears to be a far more ulterior motive: if passed, the act "could also tilt the balance of political power as more minorities are
funneled into Republican-leaning neighborhoods, he suggested.
"

Here some critics could be allowed to scream in terror at the following thought experiment: first a permissive immigration policy allowing the naturalization of millions of illegal immigrants in exchange for a vote at the next election, and then providing said "voter" with a house just down your street.

Actually scratch what we said about 1965 USSR: not even there could such a massive governmental overreach pass without some rather unpleasant social retaliation. Then again this is 2015 USA.

Incidentally, there is already an example of a "noble" idea at helping the poor going horribly wrong: one which the Supreme Court is expected to rule on in the near future.

The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on housing discrimination in a related case in the coming weeks. At issue is whether government policies that unintentionally create a disparate impact for minority communities violate federal laws against segregation.

 

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs is facing accusations that it makes low-income housing funds more readily available in minority neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods. This promotes segregation, critics argue, by encouraging minorities to continue living in poor communities where government assistance is available.

That said, since those most impacted by the passage of this act would be the wealthiest backers of Obama administration whose real estate values would promptly plunge should the rule be enacted, we doubt it has a high chance of passing. We could be wrong.

As for the president, little did we realize just how greatly we, and everyone else, had misread the definition of "community organizer."

Exactly. The problem for Whites is not war with Negroes but rather War against the Federal Government. Remember that Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to integrate Arkansas Schools.

In this corner, the White Man, inventor of napalm and the atom bomb. The other corner can't even spell Megaton and has a net worth of five dollars. If Whites actually decide to fight the Race War and not each other, major combat operations would be over in about 2 weeks.

Juanita Crabb did that to Binghamton in the 80s. I think it was to keep the population above a threshold for federal monies.  Those who could move from Bingo moved to surrounding areas, so the population was dropping.

Basically the welfare class were beckoned to come upstate where their bennies would go farther.  Well, as more people moved up, more people moved out.

Now, the place is a shithole.

That turncoat Republican Rockefeller saw nothing of "upstate" (which I'm sure he considered anything north of Yonkers) that he couldn't fleece.  How do you think he built his wonderful (now mostly vacant) Empire State Plaza?  Try watching The Neighborhood That Dissappeared http://video.wmht.org/video/2365383566/. 

The fact is no downstate idiot, R or D, gives two shakes about the people that make the state run.  Similar to the country as a whole.  Politics is driven by the loud, racially motivated voices, while we the people take it on the chin.

Read about "Rhode Map RI."  This plan was proposed last year in the most democratic state in the country.  People got angry enough that it was shelved.  The state will lose zoning powers and people may lose property rights.

This is central planning at its finest, something loved by Soviets, communists, socialists and Obama.  Of course anyone who says so is a racist, despite its truth.

Don't know who would down vote that statement.  Ignorant I suppose.  White flight is a real term.

In my neck of the woods it is used by the school board readily - by black board members.  What are they trying to do you ask?

Well, they are trying doing about everything they can to force white kids into black schools.  Of course, it gets all twisted around into how white flight is an evil perpetrated against black communities rather than just good people (blacks, asians, etc. included) trying to get a way from da hood.

When the plague invades your neighborhood, you don't stick around hoping that some doctor will invent a magic potion to eradicate it.

You pack up your shit and LEAVE.

I retired a few years ago and got the hell out of Vegas.  In the time I lived there it went from an OK place to a total shithole.  And with the water crisis, Vegas won't be getting better, ever.

But in my new state, the neighborhood is now in the first stages of a plague invasion.  So I put my place up for sale last week.  I'm getting the fuck out of here, ASAP.  I'll even make about a 10% profit on the property, after all the vultures and parasites collect their fees and taxes and commissions.

Vegas did go downhill quick.  Lake Mead less than a foot away from crisis level now as well.

Yeah, we sensed the change in our last neighborhood early and bailed.  It affected the schools first and worked it's way around the older parts of the area.  I drove past the old place recently and it still looked pretty good - but more rentals than owners.

Is all choices.  And I reserve to choice to live in an area where people take care of the property.  An area where people are involved in the community.  Heck, my wife and I both work full time and you will find us volunteering at virtually every school band event including all the football games (both my kids are into music).  In our area we are in good company.  In other areas, parent invovlement is terrible.  Community is at it's core people of course.  And if the people suck, the community is going to suck.

Seriously.  Racist policies like "desegregation" (ironic, I know) served to drive white people out of inner cities, and into these supposed "rich neighborhoods" (see also The Pruitt-Igoe Myth http://www.pruitt-igoe.com/).  Certainly more racist policies will only serve to increase diversity and racial harmony, because it worked SO well last time.

However, post-Katrina, Cypress and Spring also have huge problems with crime sky-rocketing. Even Austin has a fair number of knockout punch vicitms every night nowadays.

My little town, you might have heard of it, McKinney, TX - we were sued by the DOJ a few years back because there wasn't enough Section 8 Housing. Even though the black population is 12%, close to the national average of 14%, we are considered an affluent white town. There's also a 5% Asian and 15% Latino population here. We're just over 70% white. 

Most of the blacks who were here before actually worked and bought the houses out here. They didn't cause many problems and were treated just like everybody else. There were pockets of Section 8, but they were pretty mellow except for one quadruple robbery murder and then a police offcer who was violenty attacked at a Section 8 apartment complex after he unknowlingly pulled a fugitive thug over.  Then came the wave of animals from Katrina. Then came the animals from South Dallas after the DOJ lawsuit. The result is violent fights in the schools, rapes of young girls, pregnant 13 year-olds, and of course the pool riot mob. One white kid was beaten and tormented so much in school by the enthusiatic yoofs that he committed suicide. Of course nobody brought up the racial aspect of it. It's still a relatively peaceful and safe city, but with the mayor and police department bowing down and kissing the feet of Holder's people, I may have to get out of town as they now think they are running things.

One more thing. The white woman at the pool who was being dragged around the parking lot by her hair - she was recently fired because she was accused of being a racist even though she has been living with a black man for the past few years. None of the enthusiatic yoofs who invaded the pool, threatened the security guard, hurled racial epithets and threats at white residents, attacked the residents, and damaged cars and houses were even ticketed. Yet two white people involved were smeared and lost their jobs. Now the "affluent" residents of the $150K-$250K home neighborhood are receiving death threats. The police and FBI won't even investigate. The mayor and city council won't speak up for them.

Division.

Living in a country that has trumpeted our great constitution and enshrined our freedom of political speech within it, now finds itself told to shut up or be punished. Political speech with is the ultimate freedom is now equated with hate speech, and therefore silenced.

We in Texas see ourselves as ultimate libertarians compared to most other states, yet we are being drowned by illegals and black nationalists who will use the oppressive power of the progressives to silence the majority voice until which time as we are the official oppressed minority.

There is a sense that the battle is lost and like any other tribe in defeat, we migrate from one area of oppression to the next, to only find growing there what we had just tried to escape. How much of our GDP is the "growth" created by these retreating tribes, because God knows, the interlopers are not building,, only consuming while sucking up even more wealth of the oppressed.

How long can this stand? How far can we retreat? At what point will WE acknowledge that instead of submitting from an imposed sense of guilt, that WE are the oppressed and that WE will ultimately be forced to stand against this or surely perish?

She, like most of the demonrats overstepped her authority and failed. With that one move, she lost a lot of her middle of the road followers (well that, and letting cross-dressing dudes into women's public restrooms). I doubt that most of the shit these people are trying to push is going to stick long term, and while I do believe that both parties are basically one party, there is such a thing as political retribution especially in local and state politics.

I've seen places like that.  The owners like the easy rents INITIALLY.  But soon they can't rent the rest of the building because people paying $3k don't expect to see an infestation of ghetto rats. 

In the end, one building that took section 8s went out of business.

Government needs you to pay taxes's picture

I've seen this in NYC, where the City offers tax rebates to builders who Negrify 10-20% of the units in exchange for a signficant tax break.  It's a game the builders play to see how many niggers a big building can take before everybody who pays market rate runs away.  75 West End Ave was one such building I lived in, and it worked pretty well.  BUT, and this is a big BUT, you could tell it was one of those buildings.  I lived there b/c it was good value for what we got.  Truth be told, I was paying $4000 a month for what, all else equal, was a $5500 apartment.  So the nigger discount was at least $1000/month, and probably more like $1500.  Prolly worked out fine AFTER TAX for the owners, but the rent discount of 20-25% is real.  And most of the professionals paying market rates were young (under 40).  Once you get married and have kids, you prolly dont take the same amount of risk, so you wont tolerate living as close to that many niggers.

The socialist elites who are advocating this policy think that the only reason that Michael Brown's family are in poverty is because they do not have affluent neighbors. The solution? Force communities with affluent neighborhoods to accept housing where Michael Brown's family (and those like them) can be assigned Section 8 housing. Poof! Michael Brown's family will no longer be poor grifters who live off EBT cards.

Next up, a jump in home burglaries in affluent neighborhoods totally unrelated to the Section 8 housing that HUD imposed on them.

This is not some fancy racist talk. I have a business associate who is living this nightmare in his previously peaceful neighborhood at this very moment, not to far from where Michael Brown's family really lives. The neighborhood had its first successful drive-by shooting just a few days ago. Home values are about half of their peak.

Only the Obama Administration, once pretending to be multi-racial, could drive another wedge between America’s black and white populations. So now the rhetoric becomes stronger and like Jefferson’s quote, “fire bell in the night.”

Look at these recent comments from Jim Goad on Taki Magazine:

“For decades now, I’ve been begging the world to provide me with evidence of any place on Earth where basic living conditions—i.e., longevity, income, education, safety—improved rather than deteriorated subsequent to a large influx of blacks. Hell, I’d be satisfied to see a place where conditions even remained steady. I’m not saying such a place doesn’t exist, only that no one yet has been willing (or able?) to cough up evidence of such a place.

“Why does the general pattern—especially in Africa after the white colonialists are sent packing—seem to be destruction rather than creation? And why do I instantly become Evil Incarnate for asking that question? When people resort to calling you dirty names merely for asking honest questions, one starts to suspect that they don’t have an honest answer.”

"Lowest common denominator."

Yes, they did it in schools [namely lowered class instruction geared to the stupidest kid in the room] and now they want to force housing down to the lowest standard.  This is one reason my neighbor left teaching and opened one of those small private schools; he recruited several great teachers and after four years his school is such a success people fight to get on the admissions list. I bet we'll see more of these small private schools popping up all over as folks abandon the metal-detector, police-hallway-guarded, public schools where a kid can't even safely go to the bathroom without getting Thugged ... ooops, I mean Mugged.
