Trump to ban "low-income" housing in "suburban" neighborhoods

I suppose this is part of him doing away the AFFH rules in HUD. At least Trump doesn't bother with sugar coating it or hiding it in euphemism.

 

Umm... suburban neighborhoods ARE low income housing. Lulz. Don't @ me.

"But doctor... I am Pagliacci"

 

Do people actually dream of living in the suburbs?

 

Lol, this definitely holds true in Houston. People can't afford to live in the Heights, Montrose, Washington, EADO, etc areas. Out to the suburbs they go.

 

It is all about his rental properties......

How the hell does anybody think this is a good political move?

Its not a dog whistle or a bullhorn it's a 64 thousand watt mega station.

But how does this win him an election it's preaching to the choir.

 

I would say those stuck paying rent in decaying neighborhoods would love to be homeowners. Gain some equity.

 

He's trying to find a way to win the white suburban vote, and feels he can play on people's fear of black people moving in.

 

Covid is not the enemy. It's black people.

 

I know what he is trying to do but who in their right mind thinks it will be effective?

The people who will believe this are already voting for him.

 

I guess someone is telling him he can win on pure turnout of his base.

Doubt it'll work but I'm assuming he thinks it will because that's how he won 2016. But that was before some people knew how he would govern. Most sane people knew that the dude has no business governing but for some, they had to see the failure to understand.

 

I agree especially about the upper middle class Asian community. There is a certain ignorance by that community on the historical struggle by African Americans in this country. Many in that community especially elder Asian immigrants hold on to some really old stereotypes about Black people.

I understand this is the premise but even in his base this does not play well with everybody it's a racial dog whistle and he is trumpeting it out to the masses.

It just makes no sense no matter what the calculous.
