The proposed AFFH rule, issued last July, was expected to be finalized by the end of last year. But the year ended with no further action.
2014 was supposed to be the year Obamas year of action the phone, the pen, and all that. Yet, as Stanley Kurtz points out, Obama has been mum when it comes to AFFH.
The reason is obvious. Were not talking about raising the minimum wage here. Were talking about redistributing money from the suburbs (where all those swing voters reside) to the cities and inner-ring suburbs, and imposing racial and income balance in every neighborhood. In an election year, thats political poison.

Kurtz proposes a way to break the administrations silence on the AFFH before than. Obama has nominated Julian Castro, widely touted as a possible 2016 Democratic vice-presidential candidate, to replace Shaun Donovan as Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Donovan helped formulate the administrations policies for how we should live, and HUD will administer the AFFH regulations once they go into effect.
