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.

No doubt! I'm in a very red state but the city in question has been liberal for the past 10 years

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!"

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..."

"reduce disparities" being the key phrase. Big government engineering the correct and mandatory racial mix for your community.

Just enough minorities to gerrymander your district blue and drive down housing value. And increase crime rates.

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.

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.

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.

DEREGULATION. Likely will tie to Opportunity zones. Plus he knows the cities are going to die.

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.

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.
