No no its about racism because when the left sees poor they automatically think Black.

Under a sweeping new federal housing mandate, the Obama administration threatens to withhold funding for cities and counties that fail to remove local zoning laws and other potentially "discriminatory barriers" that restrict low-income housing in wealthy neighborhoods.

More than 1,200 municipalities will be impacted by the highly contested rule, which the Housing and Urban Development Department put into effect Wednesday.

The agency seeks to combat discrimination in affluent suburban areas, while also desegregating poor urban areas where it says too many minorities lack access to good schools and jobs.

"A ZIP code should never determine a child's future," HUD Secretary Julian Castro said.

While HUD concedes that limiting such housing does not necessarily make communities racist, the agency asserts that it reduces the "fair housing choices" for minorities who can't afford to live in those areas.

"While zoning and land use are generally local matters, when local zoning or land use practices violate the Fair Housing Act, they become a federal concern," HUD warned in its rule.




In a surprising twist Trump is being called racist for this. Which is why there is no reason to take advice from craven people like this on what is an issue


This is a good issue. You work hard you make money you live in a diverse suburb of like minded people and DC puts a low income housing project in you HOA

Fuck that
