By Mandating!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HOUSING EFFECTIVE JULY 2015<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>by Diane Kepus<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0social engineering\u00a0in this new rule, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), was first proposed in 2013. It was finalized this past June with a boost from the Supreme Court\u2019s 5-to-4\u00a0Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc. decision. HUD waited until AFTER this decision came down to make their move.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the Supreme Court has seen fit to make laws rather than &#8220;interpret&#8221; them I guess the writing was on the wall.\u00a0It will come as no surprise to SCOTUS watchers that Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor ruled in the majority, while Justices Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Roberts dissented.<\/p>\n<p>I do wonder if HUD might not be a client of the American Institute of Research (AIR)\u00a0since they specialize in Social Engineering and Behavioral Modification &#8211; for money that is and that is what AFFH is all about!<\/p>\n<p>And by golly they are! Right there on the client list sitting alongside Fannie Mae, Open Society Institute (TY George Soros) and most of our other government agencies sits The US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Hot Diggity Dog!<\/p>\n<p>So it seems AIR is getting rich working with almost every liberal organization and\/or government agency to &#8220;socially engineer&#8221; our country into a Detroit type of country aided by our children who are also to be &#8220;psychometrically validated&#8221; by the social engineering of AIR!<\/p>\n<p>HUD&#8217;s new Affirmative Action Fair Housing (AFFH)\u00a0rule \u201cgives the federal government a lever to\u00a0re-engineer\u00a0nearly every American neighborhood \u2014 imposing preferred racial and ethnic composition, densifying housing, transportation, and business development in the suburbs and cities alike, and\u00a0weakening or casting aside the authority of local governments over core responsibilities, from zoning to transportation to education,\u201d as National Review\u2019s Stanley Kurtz stated.<\/p>\n<p>FAIR TO WHOM? The Illegals, Non-working \u2014 If you can&#8217;t pass a law you MANDATE IT?<\/p>\n<p>Under a sweeping new federal housing\u00a0mandate,\u00a0the Obama administration threatens to withhold funding for cities and counties that\u00a0fail to remove\u00a0local zoning laws and other potentially \u201cdiscriminatory barriers\u201d that restrict\u00a0low-income housing in wealthy neighborhoods.\u00a0More than 1,200 municipalities will be impacted by the highly contested rule, which the Housing and Urban Development Department has put into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The massive 377-page regulation requires local authorities to take \u201cmeaningful actions\u201d to\u00a0diversify\u00a0neighborhoods. Municipalities that don\u2019t comply risk losing millions in federal grant money. Some could face federal housing-bias probes.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the AFFH\u00a0gives HUD the authority to force\u00a0regional annexation\u00a0on nearly every community in America. \u00a0Unless overturned, AFFH can\u00a0nullify states\u2019 anti-regionalism and anti-annexation laws and erase the concept of local rule\u00a0and it may be the most comprehensive federal attack on America&#8217;s individual sovereignty in our history for you see under Agenda 21 we are not even supposed to OWN any land.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How many times do we have to tell the states to\u00a0STOP\u00a0sending any money to the Federal government? The money they send us is spelled\u00a0&#8220;CHAINS&#8221;\u00a0and if the states would keep their money they would have more money than they know what to do with.<\/p>\n<p>This would be an excellent opportunity for the state and local governments to exercise their independence by telling HUD to\u00a0\u201ctake your funding and shove it\u201d. However, I am sure the &#8220;proof will be in the pudding&#8221; since our state and local politicians when it comes to defying the federal government or even suggesting such acts of defiance will be few and far between.<\/p>\n<p>This is just another action by the Federal government to eliminate the &#8220;middle class&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>HUD\u2019s new rule,\u00a0\u201cAffirmatively Furthering Fair Housing,\u201d\u00a0requires municipalities \u201cto perform an assessment of land use decisions and zoning to evaluate their possible impact on fair housing choice,\u201d it said. \u201cThis assessment must be consistent with\u00a0fair housing and civil rights\u00a0requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a companion \u201cFair Housing Assessment Tool,\u201d HUD counts \u201cland use and zoning laws, such as minimum lot sizes, limits on multi-unit properties, height limits, or bedroom-number limits as well as requirements for special use permits (and) occupancy restrictions\u201d among \u201cfactors contributing to\u00a0segregated\u00a0housing patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the new rules to be effective, federal officials need to make clear that local governments can\u00a0lose federal housing aid\u00a0if they persist in dumping subsidized housing into depressed, racially isolated communities instead of putting more of it in integrated areas that offer better schools and job opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn significant measure, the rule amounts to a de facto regional annexation of America\u2019s suburbs,\u201d National Review\u2019s Kurtz writes.<\/p>\n<p>The NY Times editorial board can\u2019t write about anything without getting hysterical:\u2028The Fair Housing Act was intended to\u00a0break down historic patterns of segregation. But it was undercut from the start by federal officials, including presidents who believed that segregation was the natural order of things.<\/p>\n<p>Really?\u00a0The FHA was enacted in 1968, long after Woodrow Wilson left office. I wonder what presidents since 1968 the Times thinks \u201cbelieved that segregation was the natural order of things.\u201d The paper discreetly leaves them unnamed.<\/p>\n<p>I have a good idea! Let&#8217;s begin this in\u00a0Marin County; CA has a total population of 260,750. According to Wikipedia, Marin County, which may be America\u2019s most\u00a0liberal, is\u00a080% white, 5.5% Asian, and only 2.8% African-American.\u00a0Marin County is well known for its natural beauty,\u00a0liberal\u00a0politics, and affluence. In May 2009, Marin County had the\u00a0fifth highest income per capita\u00a0in the United States at about $91,480. This is obviously a place in need of\u00a0more affordable\u00a0housing: the most recent census shows 61,264 single-family homes, compared with a measly 210 mobile homes and 1,316 multifamily residential units. Those numbers show that Marin County desperately needs large, subsidized apartment complexes where minorities can live close to good job opportunities and schools along with more mobile home parks, too.\u00a0In the\u00a02014 governor\u2019s race, by the way, Marin County voted\u00a078% for the Democrat and 22% for the Republican.\u00a0So I am sure a majority of its residents will applaud the Obama administration\u2019s new\u00a0\u201cfair housing\u201d initiative\u00a0and will welcome its application to their communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>FYI: \u00a0The Department of Housing and Urban Development claimed its statutory authority was found in the Fair Housing Act of 1968. And do you &#8220;wanna&#8221; bet that when this lands in the Supreme Court they will agree?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How and Why is HUD Being Allowed To Make Laws?
