      From: Johnny@invalid.net              By Howard Husock       Published February 23, 2023              The goal of "fair housing" would seem to be quite straightforward. As       spelled out in the Fair Housing Act of 1968 — and found in realtors’       offices across the country — it precludes "discrimination in the sale,       rental and financing of dwellings … based on race, color, national       origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual       orientation), familial status, and disability." In other words, those       who can afford to rent or buy should not be precluded from doing so for       reasons having nothing to do with the ability to pay.               But for the Biden administration’s Department of Housing and Urban       Development, fair housing is more — much more. In proposed regulations       that would touch any jurisdiction that accepts any sort of HUD funding,       fair housing must mean a plan to "promote equity in their communities,       decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community       assets for people of color and other underserved communities."              https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-latest-whack-suburbs-chang       -your-neighborhood-worse              Racism wouldn't be a problem in this country if white liberal democrats       didn't keep trying to pretend it's still a problem.              Biden's proposed regulations do nothing. The problems he wants to       correct don't exist.              There is no segregation, there are no underserved communities, and       black people have access to as many opportunities as white people.               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
