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

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!"

It's only middle class majority White supremacist neighborhoods that they targeted.
