Biden HUD Proposes Rule Requiring Localities
to Submit Housing ‘Equity Plans’

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 1/19/2023 6:31:10 PM

President Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is taking steps towards requiring state and local governments to submit “equity plans” to the federal government to display compliance to fair housing rules. President Biden’s HUD submitted a proposed rule that would require local governments to submit plans and reports relating to civil rights concerns or else risk losing subsidies from the federal government, the Washington Examiner reported.  The requirements are part of a rule called “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” and are said to follow through on one portion of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which mandated that localities “affirmatively further” fair housing in response to historical segregation.

Not a new idea. Neighborhoods aren't segregated by race, but by price range.

And will this requirement be applied to Rehoboth Beach and Martha's Vineyard? Just two examples that quickly come to mind.

Holdover from stuff Obama tried to pull on us. Trump put a stop to it. Look up equity. It means the other person gets the same thing that you worked hard to achieve but they don’t have to put any sweat equity in it. I worry they will decide I will have to take an illegal family into my home and provide for them. I know it sounds nuts but look at the nutty things that are happening.

Why is there a federal housing agency? Didn't we thrive and prosper for over 200 years without one? Wake up, you brain-dead Pubbies! Defund the bureaucracy! Eliminate every cabinet department - - except Defense, Justice, State, and Treasury - - AND - - turn over all federal land - - outside of the District of Columbia - - to the states in which they are located. What in God's name are you waiting for? Stop funding our beautiful nation's enemies! Do it NOW!

This is it. The federal government voiding all local zoning rules. No more zones single family. Someone can buy up a few houses in your town or subdivision, the next thing a Section 8 multifamily building. Obama's goal all along. We have to put a stop to it. They are not interested in lifting people out of poverty so that they can purchase a home in a nice neighborhood. They believe "equity" is turning the nice neighborhoods into slums. There! Now everybody is the same, mission accomplished.

Great idea but let's start within the neighborhoods of those who pass such laws. Lead by example and live with your ideals. You keep telling us who we are, or at least who we ought to be. You first.

Was still on Active Duty during the Charlie Crist years as Governor of Florida, but the damage he caused in my hometown from seeding the criminal element into upper middle class neighborhoods (by putting them in nice apartment complexes) was still evident upon retirement in 2012. Nice strip centers were being stripped clear by thieves because the employees couldn’t stop them. Couldn’t check out of a Dollar Store because the two employees we’re following a pack of savages who saw it as entertainment. Other stores had already closed. It was a disgrace.

Local governments need to pull away from the federal teat and find alternative funding for their needs, and indeed, rethink what is really a need. And then tell the feds what to do with their rules made by unelected ideologues. If enough local and regional governments could wake up and make a plan to act together and do this, what are the feds going to do, sue? Fine. Don't pay. It's time the bluff was called.

I don't know how you got to a nice crime free neighborhood but I did it by working two jobs, attending night school, getting along with my boss and never calling out sick. I keep my house maintained because I worked hard to save for it. Lucky, I understand a government that wants to take that away having seen it first hand. Always have your house ready for sale and get out fast as soon as the first sign of future destruction.

Forced equity should be as illegal as forcing everybody to wear the same clothes. We can't force everybody to be equal. Outcomes are not guaranteed.

An off-duty NYPD officer is in critical condition after he was shot in Brooklyn during an apparent robbery Saturday night, police said. The officer — a 26-year-old father of two — was blasted in the head during a shootout at 472 Ruby Street in East New York around 7 p.m., police and sources said. The officer accompanied his brother for a car purchase he arranged on Facebook marketplace, when he was shot in what appears to be a botched holdup, police and sources said. The suspect pulled out his gun “almost immediately,” after the two arrived at the scene and “announced a robbery,” Assistant Police Chief Michael Baldassano told reporters Saturday night.

A white, female Willamette University professor is scheduled to host a veritable struggle session this month at a local library “for white people to reflect together on what it means to ‘do our work’ as white people.” The professor, Emily Drew, predictably “teaches courses about racism, white supremacy, immigration, and social change,” according to a biography. “Her research agenda revolves around understanding how race and racism get institutionalized, with the goal of helping to illuminate more effective strategies for interrupting systemic inequality,” the biography reads. She also performs work for Crossroads, an “antiracism” consulting form whose mission centers on “dismantling racism” and “building racial justice in institutions.”

Who says there’s no justice in politics? Alright, I say that, but there are occasionally some exceptions. New York is currently learning the hard way that actions have consequences after a large group of illegal immigrants occupied a hotel, causing the city’s government and residents to decry the situation. Per Fox News, the illegal immigrants were scheduled to be relocated to a new “migrant relief center” but refused to vacate the free rooms they were given. An encampment was also set up outside the hotel’s lobby. A group of illegal migrants who entered into the U.S. through the southern border, are refusing to leave their free NYC hotel

We saw some of the violence that went on in New York City in the wake of the release of the horrible video of the beating of Tyre Nichols. People are legitimately upset with the actions of the police in this case. But in NYC, you also had the radical leftists who are pushing their political agenda, no matter the reason or the cause. Everything is an argument about why the current order should be shifted to the left.

We reported on the video released in the beating death of Tyre Nichols, and the video was not good. The police officers involved, who were all black, were fired and charged with second-degree murder in his death. So, one would think that “justice” was being pursued. Nichols’ family reportedly called for peace, saying they didn’t want any disturbance and were satisfied with how the case had been proceeding so far. But some in New York weren’t listening. There was a march with folks carrying the signs of the Party of Socialism and Liberation. People from the unaffiliated BLM group in New York, and their leader Hawk Newsome, were also marching.

As I said a heartfelt goodbye to my 2014 Subaru Impreza Sport 5-Door last September, there was something I wondered as I walked off the used car lot: where are all the station wagons? As it turns out, in the year 2023, there aren’t that many station wagons on the road, period. “The standard data provider for new vehicle sales doesn’t even break down wagons anymore,” says Kevin Roberts, director of industry insights and analytics at CarGurus. “Most of the time, they’ll probably end up classified as a crossover or a hatchback.” Some data aggregators have “station wagon” as a trim or body variant, but you’ll be hard-pressed

The protest reportedly began as a “mostly peaceful” demonstration in response to the death of 26-year-old activist Manuel Teran, who was killed during a police sweep on Wedneday “in what the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said was an exchange of gunfire with police that wounded a state trooper,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). The trooper remains unidentified and is reportedly in stable condition after being taken to a hospital for surgery. Prior to the rioting, protesters chanted, “No justice, no peace, no killer police” and “Stop cop city,”

President Joe Biden issued the order but had wanted the balloon downed even earlier, on Wednesday. He was advised that the best time for the operation would be when it was over water, U.S. officials said.(Snip) ..(Video) China responded that it reserved the right to “take further actions” and criticized the U.S. for “an obvious overreaction and a serious violation of international practice.”

Fighter jets shot down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic today after Joe Biden vowed to 'take care of it' and the FAA shutdown three airports in the Carolinas.

The Biden administration confirmed the shoot-down order around 2pm after the President this morning vowed, 'We're gonna take care of it,' as he stepped off Air Force One at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, upstate NY.

Joe Biden praised the Top Gun fighter jet pilot who shot down the Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina today after he vowed to 'take care of it.' An F-22 Raptor out of Langley Air Force base took the balloon down with a single AIM-9X sidewinder missile at 2.38pm, separating its surveillance payload and sending it plummeting towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach. Footage showed the jet screaming towards the spy aircraft before firing the missile as stunned locals watched from the coast.  An operation was underway to recover the wreckage and retrieve any valuable intelligence before it sinks into the ocean.

Three years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s not uncommon to see people wearing masks in public. I try not to judge people when I see someone wearing a mask; after all, the person may have a legitimate need to wear a mask. But what I’ve noticed is that there seem to be a lot of healthy younger people — teenagers and people in their early 20s — who wear masks often, and I have a difficult time understanding it. I’ve had a theory about this phenomenon for some time. I think some people like to keep masking because it makes them feel anonymous. I’m convinced that some people

President Joe Biden asked for possible military options for removing the threat of the suspected Chinese spy balloon Tuesday, but the Department of Defense (DOD) opted against doing so Wednesday over concerns falling debris could endanger civilians, officials said at a briefing Saturday.
