How many of us are aware of this stuff? Have you read about it in your local newspaper?
“Dubuque, Iowa, for example, received an influx of voucher holders from projects in Chicago — and it’s had a problem with crime ever since. A recent study linked Dubuque’s crime wave directly to Section 8 housing.”
Just one of many ‘droppings’ President Obama is preparing to leave Americans to wallow in on his way out the door of 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And while this one is labeled by the writer as his “last act” and it has serious, lasting consequences, this will by no means be Barack Obama’s most destructive and devastating act of “farewell revenge” against this country as he leaves office.
(And Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell could have stopped or at least weakened Obama’s powers to accomplish his hateful ends. Wasn’t that what voters thought these guys were promising to do?)
Wait for it, America, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
From Paul Sperry writing in the New York Post: (excerpts)
Obama’s last act is to force suburbs to be less white and less wealthy
Hillary’s rumored running mate, Housing Secretary Julian Castro, is cooking up a scheme to reallocate funding for Section 8 housing to punish suburbs for being too white and too wealthy.
The scheme involves super-sizing vouchers to help urban poor afford higher rents in pricey areas, such as Westchester County, while assigning them government real-estate agents called “mobility counselors” to secure housing in the exurbs.
Castro plans to launch the Section 8 reboot this fall, even though a similar program tested a few years ago in Dallas has been blamed for shifting violent crime to affluent neighborhoods.
It’s all part of a grand scheme to forcibly desegregate inner cities and integrate the outer suburbs. (snip)
The document argues that larger vouchers will allow poor urban families to “move into areas that potentially have better access to jobs, transportation, services and educational opportunities.” In other words, offering them more money to move to more expensive neighborhoods will improve their situation.
But HUD’s own studies show the theory doesn’t match reality. (snip)

Of course, even when reality mugs leftists, they never scrap their social theories. They just double down.
