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

Any suggestions?
This is happening in every white country - the US is only slightly ahead of the rest.

Hey O. you gots that nice pad over in Hawaii. I wouldn't mind us being neighbors. How about building me an affordable little place next door!
I have lived in a neighborhood where wealth was mixed. Some houses were worth millions and some were ghetto shacks. The area was called the Meadows which was over time called the Ghettos. The wealthy kept their lawns neatly trimmed and there was no garbage. On the other hand those on the lower end of the economic scale had junk cars in their yards, boats filled with garbage on trailers with flat tires, overgrown grass, and crap lying around the yard.
If you think it would be any different under Obama's new rules you are crazy.
This is the currrent bussing program bringing the blacks to white towns. I go to Valparaiso Indiana monthly for shopping. Over the past 3 years the town has been seeded with welfare blacks, spread all about what was an all white town. Valparaiso is infected. I don't want to touch the place.

If I wanted to live next door to some god damn welfare collecting crack smoking obammy loving porch monkey I would've moved to the fucking ghetto. No fucking way this is going to stand!! Fuck you obammy! Fuck your wookie!
way, it is going to stand and after it's done and there is nowhere to run they'll ban guns and watch from a safe distance
Hey Hey, right on fucking time. Every single time, without fail, whenever I even consider a move back to the US, and I lower my requirements even lower than the last time I considered it... shit like this happens.
So as of now:
Healthcare: I would have to accept that it will be expensive and suck on every level
Taxes: I would have to accept that they would be much higher and I would be getting much less out of it
Schools: I would have to accept that private schools are the only real choice and because I would never subject my children to "charter" or "religious" tripe, I get no voucher. No, they would be going to international schools attached to foreign embassies with foreign accreditation.
Housing: Nope, can't have the kind of house I want, turns out that housing codes and local laws in any place worth living in more or less forbid having strong secure efficient housing in one way or another. Only allowed to build a home that cops can break into instantly. And local zoning laws frown on secure homes.
Cars: Roads are falling apart and the cars I like are not allowed in the US for various reasons and not possible to import either
Banks: All of them are shit and backwards
Government: Best left unsaid really.
Wages: Sure as fuck not rising
Crime/Violence/Safety: The US is NOT a safe place to live anymore
Job Security / Worker Rights: Hah, there are NONE. You can be working fine one day and be fired the next with zero reason or compensation. So long house, so long life, good luck getting another job in this economy! Have another baby? Fuck you I guess.
So that leaves me VERY FEW benefits, most of them marginally meaningful. And just in case I managed to find a good neighborhood that I could tolerate, in an area with a school I could tolerate, and perhaps just perhaps low crime... here comes fucking obama yet again to fuck with that... gotta have "diversity" afterall, which means more niggers, spics and gangs.. AWESOME.
I'm just getting so sick and tired of watching it all fall to pieces. Every trip back to the US now is just depressing.
330 Million people in the USA & NO ONE will tell the black bastard - NO! You do not have the power to do this. We just bitch on the computer over & over until we all want to throw up..
History will not be kind to us. We will be judged harshly & we damn well deserve it. This is beyond ridiculous. We are running out of opportunities to starve the beast.
America needs a few good men & women, right now Caitlyn Jenner is all the rage. We are so screwed..
Excellent post, wish I could put it all so succinctly.
You have me thinking about going back to TW.
I have kids in the public school system. One going to a state univ. I am very involved in their coursework and know the other kids. Sorry to say that from my perspective the schools here are excellent. Simply excellent and far better than when I was a student. I know it does depend on where you live.
Cars? Great choices here, low prices relatively speaking. Roads falling apart - no.
How about that air quality in China?
Meet your new neighbour - trailer trash
Time to wage war on niggers, like they have been waging war on whites for decades. Only the Jew controlled media covers it up!
a shit hole will always be a shit hole no matter how you try to dress it up.
As usual, there is no Constitutional authority for any of this. This is the opposite of a free country/society. Just about as un-American as anything I can imagine. The idea that other ethnic groups will be improved by living next to a white person or sitting next to a white person in school is just about as racist as I can imagine.
Looking at the big picture, we know the plan. It's available for anyone to read: Agenda 21. We're 22 years into this. It's not to the advantage of any ethnic group - black, white, asian, middle eastern - we're all in this together. They are eliminating/have eliminated whites first simply because they were the key resistance.
Basically, Agenda 21 is a UN treaty, written in 1993 and agreed to by almost every country in the world, that calls for at least a 90% population reduction in order to create a "sustainable" world. The survivors will live in approved population centers where they will live a pre 1500 life - without cars, electricity, heat, etc. and bear a heavy tax load to support their overlords and to prevent them from ever rising up against them. That is our destiny if this cannot be stopped. Our economy/society is being prepped for this.
People say "why would they do that? How can they make money off that?" The answer, I think, is that they don't think the way we do. They already have all the money and the technology. We will have to pay what little we still have for the dismantling of the world, disguised as necessary to prevent "climate change," or to "defend the American way of life," or to stop the bad guy du jour, or "to keep America #1", or to defend "law and order," or whatever. It's working very well, because they use our energy to defeat us. While people think they are "defending freedom" they are actually destroying life as we know it. In the end, they don't want us breathing "their" air, or living on "their" planet.
Sorry to be so gloomy, but that's the facts. Don't blame me - it's not my idea. Before you call me a "conspiracy nut" check it out yourself.
Starve the Beast, stop paying taxes.
There's not a single predominantly black or Mexican area anywhere on Earth that isn't crime ridden and slummy. Not one. So why create more?
Since 1960s, trend in the US has been towards racial de-segregation. Could this law, if passed, mark peak in this trend and lead to more open racism and renewed segregation?
I mean, now white people may not care about blacks "acting black" in big cities, but when Gov will bring blacks right into your white neibourghood (at your expense) and tell you that no matter where you go they will follow - I think it will change a lot how people see liberals and interracial relations, as well lead to open resistance and hostility.
I wonder how many white liberals will stay liberal when they see blacks chimping out right in their neighborhoods?
Instant cure for liberalism. Lately i have been pondering on the idea of shaming some white liberal friends and social-pressure them into mingling with blacks. Particularly women. I'll set the clock and count until the inevitable rape "fixes" their thinking.
In the coming race wars they won't have to walk so far to riot in a nice neighborhood. Stand back police and "give them some room". Holy shit, a white guy just shot someone, send in delta team 6!
The problem is not Jews. The problem is Zionists. Most Jews are good people - no different to you or I. Part of the trickery is to make us believe Jews and Zionists are the same, but in reality, the great majority of Zionists are Christians.
Yawn
The official policy of the National Socialists was to make Jewish influence proportionate to its percentage of the German population. What if that proportionate representation had been established in the US. Is that "democratic".
Considering all that is going on in America, I wonder where will it end up in few hundred years?
Will white people little by little dissolve themselves into mulattos?
Probably it will look similar to Brazil or Cuba - majority of mulattos and portion of fiercely racist whites. When you see pure whites in Latin America - you bet they managed to stay white for many centuries of living among blacks/indians by being what's called "racist" in US.
This sort of thing is self correcting. South Africa is a more extreme case. Truly only the lowest dumbest whites mingle with blacks. You have a small hardened rich white elite and a mass of crazed mestizos around them. They do not mix anymore, having learned their lesson.
If the white core shrinks so much that it can no longer support the non whites, via taxes and industry, the non white populations starve to death until a minimum white/non white ratio is preserved.
It will take long to time to self correct, with a lot of unnecessary pain in the process.
White people should do something about it now. I suggest to hold a referendum on splitting US in separate countries along racial lines. Im sure lot of whites will support it
Detroification.
You can always move. The US is a very big place. If cities vibrant cores expand to suburbia, move to the suburbs's sub-suburbs.
INB4 We Detroified some folks. If you like your community you can keep your community.
My neighborhood was originally populated by many white-flight folks and is now changing to black-flighters, bringing crime and drugs to the suburbs. It's like the Borg, but you can't keep running forever trying to avoid the decline.
It is disappointing to me that so many - not a majority, but it seems like a lot - of ZH posters blame the Jews for everything. Many, if not most, of the bad guys may be Jewish, but that does not mean that "the Jews" did it. Birds of a feather flock together.
Can't you see that you have been baited to fight a meaningless battle that only strenghens the real enemy: Zionism? All Jews are not Zionist any more than all Whites are White Supremacists.
Fighting with the Jews because they are Jewish is a losing battle if there ever was one. Most Zionists are Evangelican Christians. Say a thing about Jews around most people and you will be instantly ostracized. Why not take a different tack and fight them as Khazars, or as Zionists? Most people won't even know what you are talking about - which is all for the better. Let them find out on their own. If they don't - nothing you say is going to make them.
Problem, as I see it, is that most Jews are socialists/liberals/multiculturalists, - this is the reason why many of them are part of the problem, not because they are ethnical Jews.
I have no problem with Jews that dont propagate socialism/multiculturalism. Many outstanding libertarians/free market advocates happened to be Jews (M.Friedman,M.Rothbard,A.Rand etc.)
Plenty of goyim cattle are also multis and antifas and they dont get the same scorn.
Since liberals have enabled the poor to destroy their own neighborhoods they now want to destroy mine in the name of fairness. Because socialism demands that we all be failures.
soon every neighborhood will be Detroit. Awesome!

What will stop them from forbidding sale of home unless it's to a mandated Affirmative Action plan type of family?
So sorry, but I'd like to make one last post to prove my point. Agenda 21, the official plan to eliminate 90% of the population and return the world to a pre-Columbian paradise - has been approved by almost every country in the world. Last time I looked, there were three holdouts. The great majority of the people who approved Agenda 21 WERE NOT JEWISH. Therefore, the Jews, as Jews, are NOT the enemy. Case closed.
What a BS argument! The Jews only account for less than 1% of the population of the world so of course the great majority of the approvers are non-Jewish.
It should be called for what it is: forced africanization of White neighborhoods.
When will White people finally get fed up with this liberal BS?
As soon as Secion 8 is built in elite neighborhoods watch crime rates go up , oh but wait that's a racist comment, my bad. I guess the liberals are now going to have diversified families , " people of color " getting their daughters pregnant so they'll have a " my babies mama " in the family.
I must confess that, even by ZH standards, this story is a major, major downer for me. I feel really down.
I would have liked to leave Cali for some greener pasture, somewhere, but it seems that soon there won't be any left anywhere.
The future looks very hopeless to me, guys. Just hopeless.
Sowing the seeds of a successful revolution and return to Constitutional government.
The commies dream is to niggerize the entire swath of this culture to destroy it.
Look at the trends in popular music. Nigger music glorifies misogyny, crime of every sort and no respect for anything.
Hollywood pushes niggers on white women.
Commercials and TV pushes the same shit.
Now the GOV wants to push these crime ridden walking turds into the last bastions of family values and clean living.
Who is behind it all? Look at the last names of those who own the banking system, hollywood, the main influential websites, those who control foreign policy, those who own the 5 media conglomerates that control everything the GOY watch on their TV sets.
It is not a theory.
It is communism in action.
Who came up with communism? carl marx.....
What was he??? What did he do to Russia?
History and facts cannot be totally covered up by those who you cannot criticize (those who are your rulers)
There's a reason why they have been thrown out of countries over a 100 times over the last 1500 years.
The same shit they are pulling here in this once great land.
Fuck the left and their marxist "political correctness" It is time to stand up and call an ace an ace and the spades, spades.
