Do you support Trump scrapping Biden-era fair housing rule?

[Cubus]

The Trump administration revoked a Biden-era fair housing proposed rule requiring localities to track and address patterns of segregation in their communities in order to receive federal funds.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2023 proposed the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule — a reworked version of an Obama-era rule that President Donald Trump had scrapped in 2020 — to crack down on housing discrimination.

But the Biden White House never finalized the rule, much to the chagrin of fair housing advocates and some Democrats in Congress, in part because of campaign concerns. Trump had weaponized the earlier version of the rule during the 2020 campaign, declaring that Democrats wanted to “abolish the suburbs.”

Had the 2021 rule been finalized, HUD would have been required to go through formal notice-and-comment rulemaking to revise or repeal it, a time-consuming process. The Biden administration withdrew the proposal in the Federal Register in January, and HUD put out an interim final rule replacing it on Wednesday.

Humm... I'm not sure. I've seen signs of this.

I'd probably leave it as is... what is local authorities supposed to do about all the chinese living in Chinatown?

[Dargil]

I support Trump.

There is nothing wrong with Italians wanting to live in an Italian enclave, Jews living in a Jewish enclave, and blacks living in a black enclave, if that is their choice.

What if immigrants live in enclaves?

[OlderAndWiser]

If they do that voluntarily, I see no problem with it.

[Cubus]

doesn't it make them not assimilate into society?

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah but the fucking Amish piss me off. White Protestants at their worst. They can only read one book. They can’t drive worth a shit. They dress like it’s 1850.

[OlderAndWiser]

Why should the Italians be forced to assimilate if they don’t want to do that?

[Cubus]

Multiculturalism usually ends badly.

[OlderAndWiser]

And government trying to control how people think and feel ends badly, also.

[Cubus]

Depends. Giving people too much freedom also ends badly.

[OlderAndWiser]

That belief is shared by many Europeans.

[exitseven]

Yes, America is a free country and people should not be social engineered and told where they have to live.

Good.
