I
know. I've claimed to have became sufficiently inured to the
Obama
regime's daily violations of our freedoms, constitutional guarantees,
and peace of mind, that nothing more can surprise me. Then,
each new
day they make me the liar. What in the hell is
this about?
To
ensure that "every American is able to choose to live in a community
they feel proud of," HUD has published a new fair-housing regulation
intended to give people access to better neighborhoods than the ones
they currently live in.
Donovan said HUD's new neighborhood mapping tool, which uses Census
data, will "expand access to high opportunity neighborhoods and draw
attention to investment possibilities in under-served communities."
My immediate reaction was that Obama, anxious to stop daily headlines
about multiple murders in hometown Chicago's Black neighborhoods,
wants the gangs moved into crime free neighborhoods, across the
nation. What else? Does anyone here know of a place in the
United
States where impediments, other than the ability to pay for food and
shelter, are in place? No? Then what's this
about? More race
pandering? And what a cruelty to include Asians and Latinos in
the mix. These are, by-and-large, people who've adapted; made their way by being industrious
and having close knit families. Old
School. There are no Asian Jesse Jacksons, or that other
phony— Tawana Brawly guy—to fill them with resentment and excuses.
Under
the proposed rule, the neighborhood data provided by HUD will be used
to evaluate patterns of integration and segregation, racial and ethnic
concentrations of poverty, and access to "valuable community assets."
The first time HUD caused this much
WTF-ery in me was in the early
70's. The agency purchased an upscale apartment building on
Connecticut Ave, just inside, or outside the D.C.-MD line, I forget
which.
The stated goal was to allow the new Great Society welfare class to
break out of the D.C. ghettos, where rampant crime, and the MLK riots
in
'68, had caused supermarket chains flee. By moving them to
someplace
more upscale, these people would have access to grocery, restaurant and
entertainmen values, within walking distance.
Can you see the problem here? Everyone but HUD did, straightaway.
The nearest supermarket to their new Connecticut Ave. digs was a
Safeway, just outside posh, high rent Georgetown. I imagine
it's
where the Kennedy's shopped before John went to the White House.
Guess
what? That's right. The newbies immediately raised cain over the
high
food prices. Only this time caused because chitlins and ham hocks
were
replaced by beef and pork tenderloin as meat aisle staples. The
Feds
put pressure on Safeway to stock food more within the abilities of the
newly unindigent, which realignment caused customers to migrate to even
more expensive stores, like Magruders. I know all this because I
worked the area for Campbell Soup.
It seems then that we've arrived at what this is about.
Reinventing failed Great Society
initiatives. Because they were so ... so ... what? WTF?
