Reeee!!
Don't leave our community, its white flight!!
Don't move into our community, its gentrifying!!
Don't keep us out of your communities, its redlining!!
Hey! your suburb is too middle class, you need to add some housing projects!
Town I grew up in has an average home price of $1.1 million and a population of 7,000. Drives me crazy that funding for our library and other things is tied to affordable housing. It's a great seaside town with a unique community that is older than country itself. But for whatever reason we are forced more and more to accept people into our town who don't understand our town.
It's actually genius. Blacks are straight blue voters. They're clearly dependent on the state if they live in "affordable housing." Well, what better way to eliminate Republican areas than to force hordes of blue voters. It's the perfect cover honestly.
Yeah, Seattle has a program like this... all the lefties are for it now, but in 5-10 years when the "low income family" wants to sell the home, they'll be screeching RACISM when they're not allowed to sell it for its true value.
Funny how one party enthusiastically uses demographics as a weapon against its political enemies. The other side seems to want to pretend not to notice the reality staring them in the face.
Listen, I know the prospect of being a hated minority in your own country sounds bad, but have you considered the far worse alternative of a world where (liberal, BLM supporting) businesses aren't able force the American working class to compete with the entirety of the 3rd world for work in their own neighborhoods?
You may be on to something. It took me awhile to figure out why an affordable housing nonprofit paid to send the last Atlanta mayor and his team to South Africa. They said they were there to study film making and urban culture. Lol.
It's a security risk. And it's done by design to make the country weaker. It was set up for ex-slaves and their children ONLY, not for other countries to use as a way to invade us.
The slaves had no place else to go. This was their only home.
The people taking advantage have other countries to go to.
We'll work out what to do with these people later.
What obummer did there was criminal, and they all have to go back. How the hell are you supposed to assimilate with a community of people whos iq's are dang-near DOUBLE what yours is?
Again, this was happening in the mid 90s. Clinton and the Lutheran social services and catholic charities open the flood gates. Obama was a problem but this has been a fight for 25 years
They've been doing this for centuries -- placing populations in areas where they don't belong just to destroy the cohesion of the population that was already there.
It's called "planting."
They did this with the Ulster Plantation -- enticed tons of Protestant Scots to move to Catholic Ireland.
Many of those Ulster Scots left again for the New World and became the Scotch-Irish.
My parents’ town was the same - when they retired they put all their money into buying a nice (but relatively modest) home in a small, quiet wine country town in CA. Homes averaged $700k in this neighborhood. Across the street and facing them was a beautiful open meadow with a line of mature trees. It’s one of the main reasons they bought the house. 10 years later, the county suddenly came in and plowed all the 70+ year old trees down and announced they were building several “Section 8 affordable housing units”, to comply with CA/fed regulations. The value of their house plummeted. They finally sold their house at a loss and moved into assisted living much sooner than they planned. It really caused a big financial downfall for them.
The one here is literally all homeless people who know they can’t get kicked out, and crazies on drugs. My wife loves the library and wont go unless I’m in tow packing concealed.
Yes! I love reading a hard copy book. Best to collect any that the commies want burned too. At any moment, Kindle could "delete" what is deemed "wrong think"!
Yea, and even crazier is that younger trees absorb carbon better than older ones. No one ever mentions that we're planting trees faster than cutting them down. This might be why "wild" fires are so rampant.
Can it be deleted if you own the media on a hard drive or other electronic device?i have an mp3 player and seems like it'd be impossible for the forces that be to delete any of my stuff
I think accessibility is more the issue. In Fahrenheit 451, they went house to house looking for books. So people still have them, but they couldn't be accessed at a library.
I had planned on reading that book, given it has so much attention, just have not yet. It actually was required reading back in the late 80's at my high school ( my older sister had to read it). Needs to be required all over again I assume!
I've disabled wifi and 3g on my kindle and only load it manually with 'acquired' material via usb cable. FeelsBad, but after the shiest Apply pulled with its media, I'm never trusting digital content (except Steam) again.
I used to work for a guy who did exterior home maintenance for homes. Windows, Soffit, Roofing, Siding, you name it. Was working outside of Chicago in the suburbs and was working on a guys home who had a housing project built right behind his home.
He was a very joyful guy happy about life and he just seemed so excited about all the work we were doing to his home as he was getting it all paid for by an insurance check from storm damage, but every time he talked about the neighborhood he turned depressed. Said this was a neighborhood where before you could leave your stuff outside and not worry about it, where you could leave your front door unlocked at night and not worry, where the local elementary school was always thriving and playing outside.
He told me after they built the projects, there was always a cop parked at the park in front of his home because there needed to be as they responded to the neighborhood so often. He said we shouldnt even leave so much as our scaffolding out without being locked up in some way as he thought we might be at risk of losing it. Every day we worked there we had to use our Pump Jack style scaffolding and raise it all the way to the top then climb down by ladder so as not to give them access to it to take it. He told us many times he is glad his kids have already moved out, because the locals still there with kids were making friends with people in other nearby neighborhoods and listing their kids under that address due just so the kids could go to different schools for a safer and better education.
This all happened because when they had the housing projects in Chicago, they were deemed to dangerous (like, shooting on balconies from building to building at rival gang members dangerous). Police would not respond because too dangerous. So they just tore them down, and redistributed the low income housing to suburbs all across Chicagoland and caused lots of situations like I described.
Here is more information on one of those now demolished Chicago projects. I am talking housing projects so bad, they removed the seats off of benches so people would not linger and hang out by them as it was too much a danger to life. This specific one I mention, because I was long time friends with a guy who lived in Chicago who was into nightlife and bars, and he said in this area there was a bridge to cross that separated the downtown nightlife area from the NW area where a lot of people lived. He said if it was after dark, and you were white, you wouldnt even make it across the bridge. This is the people they moved into suburban neighborhoods, neighborhoods people moved to in order to get as far away as possible from these projects.
It's so sad to hear about these situations. When I was a kid, my neighborhood was an absolute paradise. I used to walk to kindergarten, 1st, 2nd...Then they built low income housing. They bussed black kids to my school, and made me bus to a different school in the lower income side of town. I lived so close, I used to walk to school, and they made ME leave, so the blacks could take my place. My parents worked hard, saved up, bought a nice house in a safe neighborhood, and close to the school, and paid the high property taxes that funded the school... and they bussed ME OUT!! That was so long ago, and I still will not accept it.
You should see the literature they've assembled to deny any connection between crime and low-income housing. It's staggeringly dishonest.
The main thing is that a very small percentage of poor people commit any sort of crimes at all. So the idea that the random five or 10 low-income households that might move into your large neighborhood are going to impact your life in a negative way is fairly unlikely
That's the sort of logic that is commonplace in these studies.
Besides the obvious benefits (to Democrats) of terrorizing white suburbanites and breaking up their vote, this apparently also enriched many of Obama and Emanuel's real estate cronies, as they got to redevelop the former project areas. Steve Sailer has been pointing this out for years and has some good posts about it.
The apartment I lived in was nice until they were bought out and they screwed the place over.
"The government pays us $XXX to have so many apartments with washer/dryer hookups? Let's install those things in every apartment!"
They tore out my pantry and placed in hookups but the pantry was 12 inches deep, no washer or dryer could fit in there. To make it worse, government housing inspectors came in constantly..(WTF Privacy?)..and then they upped everyone's rent by $200/mo and 1/4 left, including both police officer families.
Then came the thefts, domestic disputes, and constant catalytic converter thiefs.
Did I mention the parties? Yeah the ones that go from 1AM to 4AM? Yup.
What broke my heart was that many of my neighbors were retired widows (best neighbors ever BTW) and they were effectively bullied out of there through the $200/mo increase, they couldn't afford it and had to be kicked out. "They're sending us to housing downtown, there's no grass yards near there, it's so dingy".
Reminds me of what China is doing, they are seizing land in small villages and forcing these people to live in small high rise apartments because it’s cheaper and a better use of space, and they can sell land off to developers to get more government revenue.
The issue is these people are so poor that pretty much they only ate what they grew. Now they have no land to grow on, and are starving.
All it means is that they want the West to be a place for everybody but Westerners, America to be a place for everyone but Americans, decent neighborhoods for everybody but decent people. All of a piece
Yup I saw a video of blacks in Brooklyn protesting in the gentrified part of Brooklyn screaming at white people saying blacks used to live here and to get out of their neighborhood
It means that Trump will put an end to a government agency turning suburbs and rural areas into the shitholes they turned cities into. AFFH looks for areas they don’t believe reflect the “diversity they’re trying to achieve” and gives subsidies to lower class minorities so they can live in these neighborhoods.
White, black, red, brown, yellow, purple, man, woman..... whatever someone is, the simple fact that something free has no value is incredibly true with property. The government just gives you a nice free home, people don’t take care of it because they didn’t earn it, home looks like shit and then all surrounding property values start to crash.
Oh yeah, I remember now. This was the Obama program that would shuffle the pieces around in order to turn purple states solid blue by shifting the demographics.
So is this why the suburb i grew up in and went to school at is a shithole 13 years later? I've never been able to figure it out but the demographics of my old school are polar opposite from when i went there
Don’t forget that your own town had to sign up for it. Those grants your town got around the 2012 era to build a fucking splash park/gentrify some useless portion of town were not free. They came at the cost of your small towns peace.
Ugh, never knew about this but it makes so much sense. My highschool turned into a total shit hole after I went to college. All the teachers I knew quit.
In more laymans terms, it means: "your nice crime-free neighborhood needs more diversity! let these wonderful folks move into your neighborhood for free, when they trash everything and when crime goes up they dindu nuffin!"
"For example, a major city, such as Chicago, will have to analyze any racial disparities within Chicago, and Chicago suburbs will analyze their own racial disparities. In addition, Chicago and the suburbs will have to analyze any disparities as compared with each other. Thereafter, the community has to track progress (or lack thereof). The planning cycle will be repeated every five years. If the Federal Government is not satisfied with a community's efforts to reduce disparities, federal funds could be withheld..."
Consequently, a lot of the public housing can no longer be funded if and when localities do not follow up on this. Towns rezone the buildings and it gets garbled up by investors.
I manage 13 properties that are by-products of this.
Sometimes though, it’s not always rezoning. Federal regs for public housing are very strict. If you can’t keep up with REAC and inspire guidelines, they lose funding, investors eventually pull out
People tend to like living near people of their own color. Obummer had to put a stop to this. We need to artificially inject "diversity" into functional neighborhoods to make them more dysfunctional.
Obummer said if you got too many blacks somewhere, you have to add some whites, and if you have too many whites somewhere, you had to add blacks, and if you don't they yank yo fed dollas.
GEOTUS said fuck that shit.
It's more complicated than that, but basically this.
Just look at all that's going on right now and tell me that diversity isn't our biggest strength. 0bummer just wanted to enrich your neighborhood, bigot!
Xe is totally right. There is no heritability of IQ and having two rocket scientist parents who met at Princeton has no impact on academic achievement.
People tend to like living near people of their own color.
This is true, but the affinity is not really about color, it is more about similarity and already knowing some of the people. America has always had towns and neighborhoods with majority Irish, Italian, Portuguese, or whatever. We didn't used to see that as an evil to be destroyed.
Just a quick skim of it from wikipedia and it's a data gathering program to implement price control regulations from the LBJ era.
"Under the rule, any jurisdiction that receives money from HUD must analyze its housing occupancy by race, disability, familial status, economic status, English proficiency, and other categories. It must then analyze factors which contribute to any prohibitive barriers in housing and formulate a plan to remedy the impediments."
As to why that may not be beneficial, I'll bet Thomas Sowell would have some things to say about it.
So find a successful white neighborhood, move degenerate welfare mooching scum into it for an immediate government profit. Then when it turns to trash in a couple years get the long term benefit of a rural community that votes blue after all the people that lived there jumps ship? Got it
That paragraph is dripping with bullshit. Whoever wrote that probably moved into a predominantly black neighborhood in order to virtue signal, and was robbed, raped, murdered a year later...but nobody knows about it, because the news would never report on a white person being victimized like that.
i cannot believe you guys dont know what this is, how it works and why it is around.
it is to prevent conservative voting blocks from existing in nice suburbs in blue states like Orange County, CA and Westchester County, NY that have more people than 20 states.
otherwise know as the "nice neighborhoods and schools you got there, how about some section 8 housing?" and westchester goes "ok, i'll put it in my towns that already have low income communities" feds go "oh no you don't, i want slums in Scarsdale...you know, in the middle of the nicest neighborhoods in the USA"
https://homes.westchestergov.com/resources/housing-settlement
Is this the plot to destroy middle class neighborhoods by forcing in slum housing, the crime that goes with it and the destruction of property values that people spend their fortunes on?
I have always said, any of their ideologies, whether socialism or communism, or any other left wing system, it basically just funnels the money from the 1%, and gives it to the 0.0001%.
They always say its bad the top 1% own 50% of the wealth. Well, imagine the top 0.0001% holding ALL the wealth. There is no other way for their system to work after all. Do you really want a group of rich fucks deciding how much you deserve and what your rations should be, instead of having the opportunity to decide how hard you want to work to earn what you deserve? The top guy could say he needs to buy a new mega yacht, so everyone needs to sacrifice 2kg of meat this week, who cares if dad has to starve off so his kids can make it, i need my boat.
Why though? I get that meat production is expensive calorie for calorie and therefor why a communist regime would not want to deal with that when they can just grow cheap grains and such, but why refuse to allow people to go out and get their own meat?
Or is it just some sort of power move that everything belongs to the state and you can’t take meat from an animal because that’s state property
If I've learned anything from watching Trump operate it's that they've already got this well in the pipeline. And if he's announcing it now, it's to keep the Dems occupied on multiple fronts.
I hope so. My line is 10/31. If some major shit doesn't happen before then, I'll still vote Trump because the other side is shit; but I'll know we've been gaslit like a mofo.
Would this be the system where taxpayer paid data scientists pour over demographic and other data sets in order to find the optimal route to change racial make up in communities? That one? The same one that brought us Ilhan Omar through immigration and housing from Somalia?
San Diego is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country. There's a huge demand for high-density housing to accommodate all the wealthy people who want to live there. California in general and San Diego in particular also is very liberal and so anyone who wants to develop property for the rich people also has to set aside a certain percentage of the value for low-income housing. For simplicity let's say 10%.
If the whole project was worth $100million, 10% of that would mean $10million in low-income housing. What used to happen is the developer would set aside the first two floors for low-income housing, because those were usually smaller and less expensive units, meaning the money went further. So $10million might turn into 100 units of low-income housing.
Well, San Diego said this was illegal, because someone could find out those floors were low-income housing and then discriminate against the people living there based on their address (nevermind the fact that this is a brand-new building in downtown San Diego where even the cheapest unit would probably sell for a million bucks).
So San Diego told developers if you want to build, you have to spread the housing against ALL unit types. Now this same development probably has 20 low-income housing units instead of 100, because the value is now spread out to include units with oceanside views, units with luxury floorplans, and even penthouse units.
This means that right now in San Diego, there are a bunch of no-income deadbeat families living rent free in a penthouse apartments with imported Italian marble countertops and stainless-steel appliances and balcony jacuzzis. Units that probably would have otherwise sold for $2.5-3million.
Just imagine if the developer had been allowed to actually sell the units he built on the open market, and then take 10% of that money and build housing somewhere other than downtown San Diego? It probably could have turned into 1000 housing units, easily.
There is no housing shortage or housing crisis in California. There's just the same liberal self-induced crisis that never solves any problems and only make everything worse.
Someone I know mention the low income housing in their building in downtown SD. The first floor was all low income housing and had shit everything. Shitty counters, shitty fixtures, not painted that great, etc. they clearly took shortcuts on the low income units. You go up floors and everything was nice/normal. Not sure when that building was made tho.
That sounds exactly like the old system. Make a ton of low-income units, but make them cheap and stick them on the lowest floor.
"That's discriminatory!" cries the council. So the projects approved within the past couple years now have to make sure their low-income units are identical to the other units, and they had to have at least one unit of every type included in the welfare-leech portfolio.
Some of these shitheels are living in better digs than the taxpayers that support them.
Funny thing is even the liberals never want the affordable housing or section 8. I lived in a suuuper left wing town for years. They all screamed about needing affordable housing but whenever there was a proposed location everyone that lived there pushed hard against it. So they don’t want it near them but it’s ok to impose on literally everyone else. Also why is the affordable housing and section 8 always the NICEST shit?? I pay a pretty penny for my apartment and it’s in a shared building, no yard, I don’t own a car, I can’t have a dog. I walk two blocks away and section 8 has driveways with really nice cars, yards, dogs, porches, no one living above them. In the middle of the city! I just continue to feel good that I make my own way through life. (I’m definitely getting that dog and yard once I move out of this god forsaken city anyway!)
I like it but he needs to follow up with a counter.
Section 8 is used for political reasons - but it's one noble goal was to provide afforable housing in affluent areas so that people could escape the cesspools they were in.
He should follow up with a simultaneous regulation that forces cities to be accountable to their impoverished - if crime gets too high or the city/town lets their land fester so that housing rates fall, then the populace should be able to sue the city/state for reparations and damages.
The socialists CANNOT argue against that (but they will!)
Two years before Obama left office I watched the entire video of his HUD group talking about this change and was surprised no one noticed. They implemented a ton of new regulations and openly at the meeting they said the point was to overtake the white suburbs. I hope he reverses this immediately and doesn’t just “take a look”.
Good. This act has destroyed once good schools across the country by dumping trash everywhere.
People work their whole lives to afford areas where their kids can get good educations, then the State sends hundreds of problems to those areas. Its fucking bullshit.
They tore down the Public Housing projects down under, what was/is called the HOPEVI grant. They then scattered the residents in the suburbs with section 8 vouchers. You could take a crime map and all the crime was in the projects. After they tore down the projects you could overlay a map of crime and the section eight vouchers, and they matched up perfectly.
If he kills section 8, he will go down as the greatest president our country has ever had. Of course, he is already there as far as I am concerned... be greater!
Zuckerburg's Facebook is building a huge campus in affluent Menlo Park that's 430,000 square feet. It should be ready by 2021. I think the leftist California should seize that property and make it affordable housing.
It’s usually good for the local HS football team though. For a decade or so, that is. Until the numbers reach a critical mass where the coach can no longer enforce discipline and the team goes to shit like the neighborhood itself.
Under HUD Obunghole lowered the Section 8 renter's share-of-cost significantly so people (many on substantial public assistance programs, no jobs) were able to live in neighborhoods they could not afford without the taxpayer on the hook.
Why do liberals believe people who have nothing, intend to work towards nothing are entitled to live the life you and your family worked hard for...what a bunch of hooey. This social engineering crap started under Carter (the CRA), continued under Clinton and Bush and eventually led to the sub-prime mortgage mess.
Canceling HUD aid to the suburbs unless they get rid of single family zoning so Dems can build apartment buildings in the cities and fill them with section 8 people. Ben Carson put a pause on it years ago, Trump must have been saving it as an issue, because suburban voters definitely do not want section 8 pushed into their communities.
We had a section 8 built next to our neighborhood and 2 months later the first murder in like 20 years happened. Not sure if the guy lived there, but what a strange coincidence!
Recently we've had home invasions and car Break ins. Put 2 and 2 together....
so is this what Obama wanted to do when he wanted to "reengineer majority white neighborhoods" by pressuring banks to loan to minorities when a white person sells their house and intervene when another white family wants to buy? heard mutterings of that back then where he wanted to meddle in the real estate industry to force predominantly white neighborhoods to integrate and force the banks to only lend for a minority buyer when a white family sells.
kind of like the sub-prime mortgage thing but adding that not only are the buyers/lendees obviously unable to afford the mortgage payments and will likely default quickly, but also be non white by design
This happened and is happening in our little community, there was a great development with nice homes, good people and strong property prices, well, when this shit started a few years ago that area has seen it's property value go to shit plus the good folks that are trying to stay have to listen to the thump thump thump of loud bass speakers constantly. People are selling and getting out of the area cause of it. The place is loaded now with full grown adults that have only known the government tit their entire life
Let's face it, the DOE and affirmative action have brought us to this point in time.
Reeee!! Don't leave our community, its white flight!! Don't move into our community, its gentrifying!! Don't keep us out of your communities, its redlining!!
Hey! your suburb is too middle class, you need to add some housing projects!
Town I grew up in has an average home price of $1.1 million and a population of 7,000. Drives me crazy that funding for our library and other things is tied to affordable housing. It's a great seaside town with a unique community that is older than country itself. But for whatever reason we are forced more and more to accept people into our town who don't understand our town.
It's actually genius. Blacks are straight blue voters. They're clearly dependent on the state if they live in "affordable housing." Well, what better way to eliminate Republican areas than to force hordes of blue voters. It's the perfect cover honestly.
Keeping poor people poor. Goddamn commies.
F’n commies
Yeah, Seattle has a program like this... all the lefties are for it now, but in 5-10 years when the "low income family" wants to sell the home, they'll be screeching RACISM when they're not allowed to sell it for its true value.
When they really should be yelling "Communism!" and "Taxation is theft!"
The enormous amount of land the Chinese and other foreigners have bought through over seas transactions is unconstitutional.
So long as we currently have property taxes, we don't have private property and you don't really own your house.
Just like my income....
They’ll probably repeal it for POCs only.
They'll repeal it for single mothers too -- destroy more families and enslave another generation to the government.
(Using POC, xir etc is their speak fam.)

Funny how one party enthusiastically uses demographics as a weapon against its political enemies. The other side seems to want to pretend not to notice the reality staring them in the face.
Wait till you see the census numbers for kids under 16.
Listen, I know the prospect of being a hated minority in your own country sounds bad, but have you considered the far worse alternative of a world where (liberal, BLM supporting) businesses aren't able force the American working class to compete with the entirety of the 3rd world for work in their own neighborhoods?
I'm looking forward to my South African style farm murder you bigot.
Most of us won't see that. Our kids will though.
Just the facts of life. Let me know if the symbol they used look familiar. The BLM symbol used during that genocide is
close to homehere.You may be on to something. It took me awhile to figure out why an affordable housing nonprofit paid to send the last Atlanta mayor and his team to South Africa. They said they were there to study film making and urban culture. Lol.
Why would affordable housing activists pay the bisijess class airfare and luxury accommodations to study those things in South Africa? Maybe they were interested in other things happening in South Africa that, you know, have more to do with housing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ajc.com/news/local-govt--politics/kasim-reed-south-africa-trip-probe-restarts-after-concerns-about-cost/heMn0Sfsjg2dVTsyJmtygN/amp.html
We gotta repeal birthright citizenship.
NOW.
Make it retroactive to September 11, 2001.
It's a security risk. And it's done by design to make the country weaker. It was set up for ex-slaves and their children ONLY, not for other countries to use as a way to invade us.
The slaves had no place else to go. This was their only home.
The people taking advantage have other countries to go to.
We'll work out what to do with these people later.
that's what they do when "placing" illegals in homes. its intentionally red areas
50k plus Somalis into Minnesota by Obama and no one could stop it.
Barely lost Minn in 2016
To be clear: the cucked Lutheran churches facilitated much of the Somali invasion of Minnesota. Obama accelerated the process.
Lot of money in the Christian human trafficking scam.
Soo many still don’t know this
ELCA most likely. Totally apostate branch.
UPS helped with the air transport.
AVERAGE IQ OF SOMALIA = 68
APPROXIMATE IQ OF KOKO THE GORILLA = 70-95
What obummer did there was criminal, and they all have to go back. How the hell are you supposed to assimilate with a community of people whos iq's are dang-near DOUBLE what yours is?
Those are hate facts bigot.
The question is: are they facts, or just facts that you hate? Asking for a friend.
Again, this was happening in the mid 90s. Clinton and the Lutheran social services and catholic charities open the flood gates. Obama was a problem but this has been a fight for 25 years
Just walked around Lake Calhoun earlier this week and felt like I was in Somalia
yuck
They've been doing this for centuries -- placing populations in areas where they don't belong just to destroy the cohesion of the population that was already there.
It's called "planting."
They did this with the Ulster Plantation -- enticed tons of Protestant Scots to move to Catholic Ireland.
Many of those Ulster Scots left again for the New World and became the Scotch-Irish.
I can't believe I never thought of that. You are a genius. It's sickeningly slick and sinister gerrymandering.
Thanks. If you think my analysis of their corrupt crap is solid, take a look at my finest work yet.

jesus christ
terrible.
Burn the ghetto to the ground.
Do people still go to the library?
People with homeschooled kids do a lot
Through your library you can access free audiobooks from your phone.
The one here is literally all homeless people who know they can’t get kicked out, and crazies on drugs. My wife loves the library and wont go unless I’m in tow packing concealed.
id never let mine go period. it's 100% homeless junkies
Homeless junkies watching porn
Hey, I was homeless.
Not because I was mentally ill or lazy, but because my then-husband stole everything from me through fraud.
He only got away with it because he bribed someone with pull.
Left me penniless, homeless, and with a chronic illness that took years to overcome.
I had to go to the library to apply for jobs and keep my phone charged.
It wasn't a fun time.
You couldn't tell I was homeless, though. I looked normal. No one would know if I didn't tell them -- and I didn't want anyone to know.
And I haven't given up. I intend to take him back to court -- him and the corrupt scumbag he (allegedly) bribed.

Yes! I love reading a hard copy book. Best to collect any that the commies want burned too. At any moment, Kindle could "delete" what is deemed "wrong think"!
There's actually a theory that the enviornmental push for saving paper and going digital is really to eliminate forbidden reading material.
Yea, and even crazier is that younger trees absorb carbon better than older ones. No one ever mentions that we're planting trees faster than cutting them down. This might be why "wild" fires are so rampant.
Isnt that what Zero did with his presidential library? all digital, and no.. you cant have access.
Gosh, I would not doubt that! I didn't think about it from that angle. Go paperless could eventually mean Go Brainless!
Can it be deleted if you own the media on a hard drive or other electronic device?i have an mp3 player and seems like it'd be impossible for the forces that be to delete any of my stuff
I think accessibility is more the issue. In Fahrenheit 451, they went house to house looking for books. So people still have them, but they couldn't be accessed at a library.
Ah gotcha. I have my music all in electronic format but all my books are physical books. Which is good cuz I've got some authors they want to burn lol
I love my hardback books but kindle makes it where I can haul unlimited books around.
I have a love hate with kindle books but you bring up and excellent point.
Thanks for the compliment...I use Kindle too, but strange times we are now living made me think about how digital could be gone in a New York Minute!
I had planned on reading that book, given it has so much attention, just have not yet. It actually was required reading back in the late 80's at my high school ( my older sister had to read it). Needs to be required all over again I assume!
I've disabled wifi and 3g on my kindle and only load it manually with 'acquired' material via usb cable. FeelsBad, but after the shiest Apply pulled with its media, I'm never trusting digital content (except Steam) again.
Good advice!
You can get books and books on CD/tape for long drives to work, etc. might as well use your tax dollars.
Best thing about mine is that you can get a lot of online courses for free through the library which would normally cost a lot otherwise.
Edit: you missed a good opportunity to add drag queens telling stories for an hour.
A C...D? Someone get the nurse. Old man Jenkins is talking crazy lol.
Yeah I know, but on the other hand you don't burn out your phone's battery or your data plan.
And that's just the guest readers for storytime.
I used to work for a guy who did exterior home maintenance for homes. Windows, Soffit, Roofing, Siding, you name it. Was working outside of Chicago in the suburbs and was working on a guys home who had a housing project built right behind his home.
He was a very joyful guy happy about life and he just seemed so excited about all the work we were doing to his home as he was getting it all paid for by an insurance check from storm damage, but every time he talked about the neighborhood he turned depressed. Said this was a neighborhood where before you could leave your stuff outside and not worry about it, where you could leave your front door unlocked at night and not worry, where the local elementary school was always thriving and playing outside.
He told me after they built the projects, there was always a cop parked at the park in front of his home because there needed to be as they responded to the neighborhood so often. He said we shouldnt even leave so much as our scaffolding out without being locked up in some way as he thought we might be at risk of losing it. Every day we worked there we had to use our Pump Jack style scaffolding and raise it all the way to the top then climb down by ladder so as not to give them access to it to take it. He told us many times he is glad his kids have already moved out, because the locals still there with kids were making friends with people in other nearby neighborhoods and listing their kids under that address due just so the kids could go to different schools for a safer and better education.
This all happened because when they had the housing projects in Chicago, they were deemed to dangerous (like, shooting on balconies from building to building at rival gang members dangerous). Police would not respond because too dangerous. So they just tore them down, and redistributed the low income housing to suburbs all across Chicagoland and caused lots of situations like I described.
Here is more information on one of those now demolished Chicago projects. I am talking housing projects so bad, they removed the seats off of benches so people would not linger and hang out by them as it was too much a danger to life. This specific one I mention, because I was long time friends with a guy who lived in Chicago who was into nightlife and bars, and he said in this area there was a bridge to cross that separated the downtown nightlife area from the NW area where a lot of people lived. He said if it was after dark, and you were white, you wouldnt even make it across the bridge. This is the people they moved into suburban neighborhoods, neighborhoods people moved to in order to get as far away as possible from these projects.
It's so sad to hear about these situations. When I was a kid, my neighborhood was an absolute paradise. I used to walk to kindergarten, 1st, 2nd...Then they built low income housing. They bussed black kids to my school, and made me bus to a different school in the lower income side of town. I lived so close, I used to walk to school, and they made ME leave, so the blacks could take my place. My parents worked hard, saved up, bought a nice house in a safe neighborhood, and close to the school, and paid the high property taxes that funded the school... and they bussed ME OUT!! That was so long ago, and I still will not accept it.
You should see the literature they've assembled to deny any connection between crime and low-income housing. It's staggeringly dishonest.
That's the sort of logic that is commonplace in these studies.
Here in Minnesota we no longer call it low-income housing. Now it is called "workforce housing"
Lemme guess... was there a sign that said "Crime Free Zone"? I stay far from those places
Besides the obvious benefits (to Democrats) of terrorizing white suburbanites and breaking up their vote, this apparently also enriched many of Obama and Emanuel's real estate cronies, as they got to redevelop the former project areas. Steve Sailer has been pointing this out for years and has some good posts about it.
He's pointed out a lot of inconvenient truths.
He's pointed out a lot of inconvenient truths.
The apartment I lived in was nice until they were bought out and they screwed the place over.
"The government pays us $XXX to have so many apartments with washer/dryer hookups? Let's install those things in every apartment!"
They tore out my pantry and placed in hookups but the pantry was 12 inches deep, no washer or dryer could fit in there. To make it worse, government housing inspectors came in constantly..(WTF Privacy?)..and then they upped everyone's rent by $200/mo and 1/4 left, including both police officer families.
Then came the thefts, domestic disputes, and constant catalytic converter thiefs.
Did I mention the parties? Yeah the ones that go from 1AM to 4AM? Yup.
What broke my heart was that many of my neighbors were retired widows (best neighbors ever BTW) and they were effectively bullied out of there through the $200/mo increase, they couldn't afford it and had to be kicked out. "They're sending us to housing downtown, there's no grass yards near there, it's so dingy".
This happened over the course of 6 months.
Reminds me of what China is doing, they are seizing land in small villages and forcing these people to live in small high rise apartments because it’s cheaper and a better use of space, and they can sell land off to developers to get more government revenue.
The issue is these people are so poor that pretty much they only ate what they grew. Now they have no land to grow on, and are starving.
"Let's just grab a third world person from out in the sticks of our country and toss them into an inner-city high-rise...What could go wrong?"
It's actually very Chinese (more or less "MAO-ist") of them, very self-centered and not thinking about society.
All it means is that they want the West to be a place for everybody but Westerners, America to be a place for everyone but Americans, decent neighborhoods for everybody but decent people. All of a piece
Yup I saw a video of blacks in Brooklyn protesting in the gentrified part of Brooklyn screaming at white people saying blacks used to live here and to get out of their neighborhood
this exactly.
Ok, in laymans terms, what does this mean ?
It means that Trump will put an end to a government agency turning suburbs and rural areas into the shitholes they turned cities into. AFFH looks for areas they don’t believe reflect the “diversity they’re trying to achieve” and gives subsidies to lower class minorities so they can live in these neighborhoods.
White, black, red, brown, yellow, purple, man, woman..... whatever someone is, the simple fact that something free has no value is incredibly true with property. The government just gives you a nice free home, people don’t take care of it because they didn’t earn it, home looks like shit and then all surrounding property values start to crash.
Oh yeah, I remember now. This was the Obama program that would shuffle the pieces around in order to turn purple states solid blue by shifting the demographics.
Bingo.
So it’s a bid to ensure that rural America never votes red again?
Hmm I think there is a word for this...oh yeah...INVASION
Exacerbated by the Obama recession when slumlords bought up foreclosed housing and rented it out section 8
So is this why the suburb i grew up in and went to school at is a shithole 13 years later? I've never been able to figure it out but the demographics of my old school are polar opposite from when i went there
Don’t forget that your own town had to sign up for it. Those grants your town got around the 2012 era to build a fucking splash park/gentrify some useless portion of town were not free. They came at the cost of your small towns peace.
No doubt! I'm in a very red state but the city in question has been liberal for the past 10 years
If we want to save our country, it’s going to require we get onto our local town and education boards.
Ugh, never knew about this but it makes so much sense. My highschool turned into a total shit hole after I went to college. All the teachers I knew quit.
In more laymans terms, it means: "your nice crime-free neighborhood needs more diversity! let these wonderful folks move into your neighborhood for free, when they trash everything and when crime goes up they dindu nuffin!"
the civil rights movement
How many homes in Pelosi and Biden’s neighborhoods have been used for this program?
It's only middle class majority White supremacist neighborhoods that they targeted.
"For example, a major city, such as Chicago, will have to analyze any racial disparities within Chicago, and Chicago suburbs will analyze their own racial disparities. In addition, Chicago and the suburbs will have to analyze any disparities as compared with each other. Thereafter, the community has to track progress (or lack thereof). The planning cycle will be repeated every five years. If the Federal Government is not satisfied with a community's efforts to reduce disparities, federal funds could be withheld..."
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmatively_furthering_fair_housing
"reduce disparities" being the key phrase. Big government engineering the correct and mandatory racial mix for your community.
Big Brother knows Best!
Just enough minorities to gerrymander your district blue and drive down housing value. And increase crime rates.
Also 5 years. Commies looove their 5 years plans for some reason.
That's insane!!
Consequently, a lot of the public housing can no longer be funded if and when localities do not follow up on this. Towns rezone the buildings and it gets garbled up by investors.
I manage 13 properties that are by-products of this.
Sometimes though, it’s not always rezoning. Federal regs for public housing are very strict. If you can’t keep up with REAC and inspire guidelines, they lose funding, investors eventually pull out
People tend to like living near people of their own color. Obummer had to put a stop to this. We need to artificially inject "diversity" into functional neighborhoods to make them more dysfunctional.
Obummer said if you got too many blacks somewhere, you have to add some whites, and if you have too many whites somewhere, you had to add blacks, and if you don't they yank yo fed dollas.
GEOTUS said fuck that shit.
It's more complicated than that, but basically this.
Here is a nice salty article about it.
https://www.curbed.com/2020/1/28/21101127/trump-hud-housing-segregation-ben-carson
Just look at all that's going on right now and tell me that diversity isn't our biggest strength. 0bummer just wanted to enrich your neighborhood, bigot!
Xe is totally right. There is no heritability of IQ and having two rocket scientist parents who met at Princeton has no impact on academic achievement.
How the fuck is this a thing. Of all the clown world bullshit I’ve seen, this takes the cake.
https://archive.fo/BxKhf
This is true, but the affinity is not really about color, it is more about similarity and already knowing some of the people. America has always had towns and neighborhoods with majority Irish, Italian, Portuguese, or whatever. We didn't used to see that as an evil to be destroyed.
well said, I completely agree.
Better housing for suburbs
DEREGULATION. Likely will tie to Opportunity zones. Plus he knows the cities are going to die.
Yep, dems want to keep people trapped in the cities with no cops and mob rule.
Just a quick skim of it from wikipedia and it's a data gathering program to implement price control regulations from the LBJ era.
"Under the rule, any jurisdiction that receives money from HUD must analyze its housing occupancy by race, disability, familial status, economic status, English proficiency, and other categories. It must then analyze factors which contribute to any prohibitive barriers in housing and formulate a plan to remedy the impediments."
As to why that may not be beneficial, I'll bet Thomas Sowell would have some things to say about it.
"Thomas Sowell"
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Heres the Wikipedia article
So find a successful white neighborhood, move degenerate welfare mooching scum into it for an immediate government profit. Then when it turns to trash in a couple years get the long term benefit of a rural community that votes blue after all the people that lived there jumps ship? Got it
That paragraph is dripping with bullshit. Whoever wrote that probably moved into a predominantly black neighborhood in order to virtue signal, and was robbed, raped, murdered a year later...but nobody knows about it, because the news would never report on a white person being victimized like that.
There needs to be a new law that the first 2% of losses HUD takes from these leftist programs is deducted from Dems’ pay and post retirement benefits.
Deducted from the states government pay and post retirement benefits* I wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity to fuck over some RINOs
i cannot believe you guys dont know what this is, how it works and why it is around. it is to prevent conservative voting blocks from existing in nice suburbs in blue states like Orange County, CA and Westchester County, NY that have more people than 20 states. otherwise know as the "nice neighborhoods and schools you got there, how about some section 8 housing?" and westchester goes "ok, i'll put it in my towns that already have low income communities" feds go "oh no you don't, i want slums in Scarsdale...you know, in the middle of the nicest neighborhoods in the USA" https://homes.westchestergov.com/resources/housing-settlement
Yup they tried to do this to garden city ny but Hempstead is right next door garden city shut it down tho thank god
I’m honestly shocked I didn’t know about it
I thought I was done 😭
Learning every day friend, thanks to people like you. Keep it up!
Could it be that MSM deliberately avoided reporting a US government plan to engineer demographics throughout America?
Westchester = bestchester
Is this the plot to destroy middle class neighborhoods by forcing in slum housing, the crime that goes with it and the destruction of property values that people spend their fortunes on?
Yes.
Yep, then cancel the police to tank prices more.
Except the top 0.0001%.
I have always said, any of their ideologies, whether socialism or communism, or any other left wing system, it basically just funnels the money from the 1%, and gives it to the 0.0001%.
They always say its bad the top 1% own 50% of the wealth. Well, imagine the top 0.0001% holding ALL the wealth. There is no other way for their system to work after all. Do you really want a group of rich fucks deciding how much you deserve and what your rations should be, instead of having the opportunity to decide how hard you want to work to earn what you deserve? The top guy could say he needs to buy a new mega yacht, so everyone needs to sacrifice 2kg of meat this week, who cares if dad has to starve off so his kids can make it, i need my boat.
Welcome to Soviet America Comrade! Come for the extra can of beens, stay because you’re locked in the gulag.
Why though? I get that meat production is expensive calorie for calorie and therefor why a communist regime would not want to deal with that when they can just grow cheap grains and such, but why refuse to allow people to go out and get their own meat?
Or is it just some sort of power move that everything belongs to the state and you can’t take meat from an animal because that’s state property
Well, they will still have all their money. The rest of us will be fucked.
Do it before announcing you may do it.
If I've learned anything from watching Trump operate it's that they've already got this well in the pipeline. And if he's announcing it now, it's to keep the Dems occupied on multiple fronts.
I hope so. My line is 10/31. If some major shit doesn't happen before then, I'll still vote Trump because the other side is shit; but I'll know we've been gaslit like a mofo.
Are you kidding me...? Major shit HAS happened! He’s been massively effective on delivering on campaign promises.
The Democrat governors are implementing Cuomocide to eliminate them.
Would this be the system where taxpayer paid data scientists pour over demographic and other data sets in order to find the optimal route to change racial make up in communities? That one? The same one that brought us Ilhan Omar through immigration and housing from Somalia?
reverse gentrification
YES, FINALLY
Thanks, this article helps much more than Wikipedia who make it seem like the best thing ever.
Based on Chaz, Dems don't want you to have neighborhoods.
Wikipedia is an absolute garbage fire.
True story time about liberal stupidity:
San Diego is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country. There's a huge demand for high-density housing to accommodate all the wealthy people who want to live there. California in general and San Diego in particular also is very liberal and so anyone who wants to develop property for the rich people also has to set aside a certain percentage of the value for low-income housing. For simplicity let's say 10%.
If the whole project was worth $100million, 10% of that would mean $10million in low-income housing. What used to happen is the developer would set aside the first two floors for low-income housing, because those were usually smaller and less expensive units, meaning the money went further. So $10million might turn into 100 units of low-income housing.
Well, San Diego said this was illegal, because someone could find out those floors were low-income housing and then discriminate against the people living there based on their address (nevermind the fact that this is a brand-new building in downtown San Diego where even the cheapest unit would probably sell for a million bucks).
So San Diego told developers if you want to build, you have to spread the housing against ALL unit types. Now this same development probably has 20 low-income housing units instead of 100, because the value is now spread out to include units with oceanside views, units with luxury floorplans, and even penthouse units.
This means that right now in San Diego, there are a bunch of no-income deadbeat families living rent free in a penthouse apartments with imported Italian marble countertops and stainless-steel appliances and balcony jacuzzis. Units that probably would have otherwise sold for $2.5-3million.
Just imagine if the developer had been allowed to actually sell the units he built on the open market, and then take 10% of that money and build housing somewhere other than downtown San Diego? It probably could have turned into 1000 housing units, easily.
There is no housing shortage or housing crisis in California. There's just the same liberal self-induced crisis that never solves any problems and only make everything worse.
Someone I know mention the low income housing in their building in downtown SD. The first floor was all low income housing and had shit everything. Shitty counters, shitty fixtures, not painted that great, etc. they clearly took shortcuts on the low income units. You go up floors and everything was nice/normal. Not sure when that building was made tho.
beggars can't be choosers is also true though
That sounds exactly like the old system. Make a ton of low-income units, but make them cheap and stick them on the lowest floor.
"That's discriminatory!" cries the council. So the projects approved within the past couple years now have to make sure their low-income units are identical to the other units, and they had to have at least one unit of every type included in the welfare-leech portfolio.
Some of these shitheels are living in better digs than the taxpayers that support them.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT GOES UNNOTICED.
OBAMA WAS DESTROYING NEIGHBORHOODS.
Funny thing is even the liberals never want the affordable housing or section 8. I lived in a suuuper left wing town for years. They all screamed about needing affordable housing but whenever there was a proposed location everyone that lived there pushed hard against it. So they don’t want it near them but it’s ok to impose on literally everyone else. Also why is the affordable housing and section 8 always the NICEST shit?? I pay a pretty penny for my apartment and it’s in a shared building, no yard, I don’t own a car, I can’t have a dog. I walk two blocks away and section 8 has driveways with really nice cars, yards, dogs, porches, no one living above them. In the middle of the city! I just continue to feel good that I make my own way through life. (I’m definitely getting that dog and yard once I move out of this god forsaken city anyway!)
No matter how far your white flight takes you, if you gather up in more than five people we will chase you down and drop low income housing on you.
Where ever you run we will find you. Pretty much Obama.
I like it but he needs to follow up with a counter.
Section 8 is used for political reasons - but it's one noble goal was to provide afforable housing in affluent areas so that people could escape the cesspools they were in.
He should follow up with a simultaneous regulation that forces cities to be accountable to their impoverished - if crime gets too high or the city/town lets their land fester so that housing rates fall, then the populace should be able to sue the city/state for reparations and damages.
The socialists CANNOT argue against that (but they will!)
The city/state will just raise taxes and issue bonds they can't afford. Look at California.
Two years before Obama left office I watched the entire video of his HUD group talking about this change and was surprised no one noticed. They implemented a ton of new regulations and openly at the meeting they said the point was to overtake the white suburbs. I hope he reverses this immediately and doesn’t just “take a look”.
Good. This act has destroyed once good schools across the country by dumping trash everywhere. People work their whole lives to afford areas where their kids can get good educations, then the State sends hundreds of problems to those areas. Its fucking bullshit.
I sincerely hope he follows through and destroys this garbage regulation.
They tore down the Public Housing projects down under, what was/is called the HOPEVI grant. They then scattered the residents in the suburbs with section 8 vouchers. You could take a crime map and all the crime was in the projects. After they tore down the projects you could overlay a map of crime and the section eight vouchers, and they matched up perfectly.
If you see a neighborhood/subdivision/apartment complex with that logo of a house with the “equals” sign in it, avoid that shit like the plague.
If he kills section 8, he will go down as the greatest president our country has ever had. Of course, he is already there as far as I am concerned... be greater!
God damn am I glad I moved to the sticks. I live next to a nature preserve. Have one neighbor. I won't ever have to deal with another person again
This is where I fight and die for.
This is huge and if properly messaged can win back some suburban women.
The left is racist!
Fucking triggering liberals on every front.
GEOTUS!!!!!!!!!
Zuckerburg's Facebook is building a huge campus in affluent Menlo Park that's 430,000 square feet. It should be ready by 2021. I think the leftist California should seize that property and make it affordable housing.
It’s usually good for the local HS football team though. For a decade or so, that is. Until the numbers reach a critical mass where the coach can no longer enforce discipline and the team goes to shit like the neighborhood itself.
I had no idea this was even a thing that needed to be stopped!
Our nations founders would truly be ashamed of this government and what we have allowed it to impose on our liberties.
HUD should never have existed in the first place
Unfortunately this is too late for alot of us.
Chasing down White flight
Honestly, the only affordable housing is building trailer parks. That shit is cheap. Everything else is a scam
It’s a regulation to stop segregation!
Drumph is a racist!
Also: we demand separate spaces for our pet black people because systemic racism.
This is amazing. God bless Trump. More like this sir, THIS is why we voted for you! This is how we take the country back!
Sneaky bastard, he’s going to make me look it up to see what it is so that I can learn something new. Improving lives, 240 characters at a time.
Under HUD Obunghole lowered the Section 8 renter's share-of-cost significantly so people (many on substantial public assistance programs, no jobs) were able to live in neighborhoods they could not afford without the taxpayer on the hook.
Why do liberals believe people who have nothing, intend to work towards nothing are entitled to live the life you and your family worked hard for...what a bunch of hooey. This social engineering crap started under Carter (the CRA), continued under Clinton and Bush and eventually led to the sub-prime mortgage mess.
Canceling HUD aid to the suburbs unless they get rid of single family zoning so Dems can build apartment buildings in the cities and fill them with section 8 people. Ben Carson put a pause on it years ago, Trump must have been saving it as an issue, because suburban voters definitely do not want section 8 pushed into their communities.
We had a section 8 built next to our neighborhood and 2 months later the first murder in like 20 years happened. Not sure if the guy lived there, but what a strange coincidence!
Recently we've had home invasions and car Break ins. Put 2 and 2 together....

End welfare and Planned Parenthood and save more than that.
The welfare problem would be worse without planned parenthood. Republicans would also never win another election again without PP. Hard facts.
Sad fact but true
so is this what Obama wanted to do when he wanted to "reengineer majority white neighborhoods" by pressuring banks to loan to minorities when a white person sells their house and intervene when another white family wants to buy? heard mutterings of that back then where he wanted to meddle in the real estate industry to force predominantly white neighborhoods to integrate and force the banks to only lend for a minority buyer when a white family sells.
kind of like the sub-prime mortgage thing but adding that not only are the buyers/lendees obviously unable to afford the mortgage payments and will likely default quickly, but also be non white by design
This happened and is happening in our little community, there was a great development with nice homes, good people and strong property prices, well, when this shit started a few years ago that area has seen it's property value go to shit plus the good folks that are trying to stay have to listen to the thump thump thump of loud bass speakers constantly. People are selling and getting out of the area cause of it. The place is loaded now with full grown adults that have only known the government tit their entire life Let's face it, the DOE and affirmative action have brought us to this point in time.
He fucking better end that bullshit!
TL;DR AFFH please!
First house I bought was in one of these houses.
3 murders in 1 year. NO JOKE
What is the AFFH?
