DIVERSIFYING SUBURBS

DIVERSIFYING SUBURBS
by
Paul Sperry

Obama's housing chief plans this fall to implement a new rule giving Section 8 welfare recipients enough money to afford rent wherever they choose, with the goal of driving them  into affluent suburbs. Section 8 tenants who choose to stay in the city will lose subsidies.

The regime is gearing up for a massive settlement of urban poor - more than 350,000 initially, followed by as many of the rest of the 2.2 million Section 8 tenants as they can push out of cities - all to end what the left calls "American apartheid."

If landlords fight the massive social experiment to racially and economically - not to mention politically - integrate the suburbs - they'll be sued for discrimination. And if counties and municipalities fight it, they'll lose millions in federal funding.

Obama is showing his radical roots in his final days of office. But if you think this is bad, just wait. His most dangerous days are yet to come.
