This is the bottom line… HUD is trying to prevent economic and racial ‘sameness’ in places they feel are too racially or economically homogenous.
There is never a provision in zoning that prevents any type of person from traveling or living wherever he can afford it, but HUD is using zoning as an excuse for imposing new transit lines and zoning changes that towns may not want.
Although the article does not mention HUD, it states that “The city council has until September 11, 2013 to begin complying with the Federal Highway Administration order. They will meet again on August 12 to decide how to proceed.”
Since when does the federal government decide these things? When the towns take federal grant money from HUD and the DOT.
