They did this during the Obama era. Too many people were escaping from the shit hole cities into the suburbs, which reduced the tax revenue for those democrat cities to implement their socialism. So the government tied infrastructure spending to racial justice programs, and your suburb didn’t get their own tax money back in services unless you agreed to participate in those programs.

In other words: you didn’t get your roads fixed unless you also permitted expansion of subsidized housing, public transit, and immigrant settlement into your suburb. The government withheld your money unless you actively sabotaged your own community with shitty programs that turn your town into the same cesspool as the big cities.
