Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods
In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America's neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.
The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.
"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong," he said.
They already tried this with the CRA -where the gov forced the Banks to lend to people without incomes or credit to buy homes in neighborhoods they could not afford causing them to default-resulting in the gov bailing out the banks with taxpayer money-now maybe they will force banks to deny loans to worthy customers unless that geographical area is deemed to not be discriminating-This is social engineering its wrong and its another damaging act committed by this gov.
