Stopping Obama’s Neighborhood Watch Program

Look for more privately owned communities. Gated, walled, with armed guards. They have them in Orange County and out by Palm Springs. Also, the co-op is a good vehicle. The current owners have to vote on whether to let in a new resident or not.

Yeah but that's for rich people.

What about us who are middle class? Are we just condemned to live in black ghettos without any other option?

This is going to cause alot of violence and civil unrest.

Maybe you'll be fortunate enough to draw housing in a Mexican barrio.

That would indeed be preferable over a black ghetto. Thank you for the suggestion.

Wow. Look at you idiots go. Not even fact checking since this bullshit feeds right into your biases. The desire to believe it is true makes it all fact. You rubes are so easy!

Pathetic.

Reputedly, they are working. At low-paid jobs Americans won't take, but they work...

You might show an interest in the reason such things are so easy to believe. No, you are only interested in taking your liberal marching orders on faith.

OP- has no connection to reality, hater dupes. Like every other dupe OP...

"this order establishes a national policy to ensure the protection, maintenance, and restoration of the health of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems and resources, enhance the sustainability of ocean and coastal economies, preserve our maritime heritage, support sustainable uses and access, provide for adaptive management to enhance our understanding of and capacity to respond to climate change and ocean acidification, and coordinate with our national security and foreign policy interests."

My local mcdonalds employs illegal immigrants. Jobs that american teens normally work. So this idea that mexicans work jobs americans don't want is pretty much bogus.

Still though, I'd rather live in a mexican ghetto than a black ghetto any day of the week.

Oh, I believe Americans would definitely take those jobs, if welfare didn't pay more. Hungry changes a person's standards vis-à-vis jobs. Minimum wage is better than nothing.
Oh, yeah, I'd rather live among foreigners than American entitlement blacks, too.

You should be safe in your trailer park.

I actually live in a nice neighborhood.

But I would rather live in a trailer park than a black ghetto.

What about you?

Stop lying. You know you live in a trailer park. If I got beat up in a black ghetto like you did I would move too!

Nope. I live in a middle class white neighborhood.

Now answer my question.

 

[FA_Q2]

Um. Hello? Is this thing on?

Executive Order 13547 has nothing to do with HUD. It's about the oceans.

….
Apparently not. Did you check to see if it was plugged in?

Seriously, are you all really going to go on like the OP was not completely identified as an outright lie.

It's "easy" for you to believe only because you want it to true.

Thats not what I heard. I heard you got beat up when you lived in a black ghetto, moved into a trailer park and now express your hatred of Blacks on the internet where you wont get a beat down. its OK. Just be truthful and I will answer your question.

This pleases me very thoroughly.

Its WATER FRONT idiot.

Gawd but you nutters will fall for anything.

Stopping Obama’s Neighborhood Watch Program

Tell the truth. You racist haters would prefer the GZ approach to "neighborhood watch" - Pretend to be neighborhood watch, stalk teenagers and murder them.

I'll say this for the rw idiots on this board - you never disappoint.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I don't think it's a good idea to force me to live next door to ghetto trash.

That will have a very bad ending.

In the ocean???????????

 

[AceRothstein]

This is more than likely a disaster in the making. Unless the idea is to cause more white flight and, in turn, another housing boom.

 

[Duped]

Every time Obama comes up with a program it sucks. I would prefer that the UN go to hell. We need to think about ourselves, and get on the self reliance program. 21, sounds creepy!

More government means less freedom; closer to tyranny!

A privately owned community can be waterfront. They are in San Clemente and Laguna Beach. Rancho Mission Viejo is going to be a completely owned community with its own schools and shopping center. It will be walled, gated and have armed security.

In en entirely owned private community the land is leased when a person buys a home they only buy the structure. They pay a monthly lease payment and a homeowners fee. My son lives in one of these communities. HUD won't be able to get into one of these communities. That's the future.

Yes. I fully agree with the GZ approach. The thug got exactly what was coming to him.

Here is the actual proposed rule

Regulations.gov

Summary
Through this rule, HUD proposes to provide HUD program participants with more effective means to affirmatively further the purposes and policies of the Fair Housing Act, which is Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The Fair Housing Act not only prohibits discrimination but, in conjunction with other statutes, directs HUD's program participants to take steps proactively to overcome historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities for all. As acknowledged by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and many stakeholders, advocates, and program participants, the current practice of affirmatively furthering fair housing carried out by HUD grantees, which involves an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice and a certification that the grantee will affirmatively further fair housing, has not been as effective as had been envisioned. This rule accordingly proposes to refine existing requirements with a fair housing assessment and planning process that will better aid HUD program participants fulfill this statutory obligation and address specific comments the GAO raised. To facilitate this new approach, HUD will provide states, local governments, insular areas, and public housing agencies (PHAs), as well as the communities they serve, with data on patterns of integration and segregation; racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; access to education, employment, low-poverty, transportation, and environmental health, among other critical assets; disproportionate housing needs based on the classes protected under the Fair Housing Act; data on individuals with disabilities and families with children; and discrimination. From these data, program participants will evaluate their present environment to assess fair housing issues, identify the primary determinants that account for those issues, and set forth fair housing priorities and goals. The benefit of this approach is that these priorities and goals will then better inform program participant's strategies and actions by improving the integration of the assessment of fair housing through enhanced coordination with current planning exercises. This proposed rule further commits HUD to greater engagement and better guidance for program participants in fulfilling their obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. With this new clarity through guidance, a template for the assessment, and a HUD-review process, program participants should achieve more meaningful outcomes that affirmatively further fair housing.

Summary of the Major Provisions of the Rule
The proposed rule—in concert with other HUD policies—is structured to provide direction, guidance, and procedures for program participants to promote fair housing choice. The rule promotes these objectives and responds to the GAO's observations by:

a. Refining the current requirement that program participants complete an Analysis of Impediments (AI) with a more effective and standardized Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), through which program participants would evaluate fair housing challenges and goals using regional and national benchmarks and data tools to facilitate the measurements of trends and changes over time;

b. Improving fair housing assessment, planning, and decision-making by providing data that program participants must consider in their AFHs, thereby aiding program participants establish fair housing goals to address these issues and concerns;

c. Incorporating, explicitly, fair housing planning into existing planning processes, the consolidated plan and PHA Annual Plan, which in turn incorporates fair housing priorities and concerns more effectively into housing, community development, land-use, and other decision-making that influences how communities and regions grow and develop;

d. Encouraging and facilitating regional approaches to addressing fair housing issues, including effective incentives for collaboration across jurisdictions and PHAs, and incorporation of fair housing planning into regionally significant undertakings, such as major public infrastructure investments;

e. Bringing people historically excluded because of characteristics protected by the Fair Housing Act into full and fair participation in decisions about the appropriate uses of HUD funds and other investments, through a requirement to conduct community participation as an integral part of program participants' AFHs; and

f. Establishing an approach to affirmatively further fair housing that calls for coordinated efforts to combat illegal housing discrimination, so that individuals and families can make decisions about where to live, free from discrimination, with necessary information regarding housing options, and with adequate support to make their choices viable.

Through these improvements, the rule seeks to make program participants more empowered to foster the diversity and strength of communities and regions by improving integrated living patterns and overcoming historic patterns of segregation, reducing racial and ethnic concentrations of poverty, and responding to identified disproportionate housing needs of persons protected by the Fair Housing Act. The rule also seeks to assist program participants in reducing disparities in access to key community assets based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability, thereby improving economic competitiveness and quality of life.

HUD intends the guidance, data, tools, and procedural improvements provided under this proposed rule to reduce the current data collection burden on program participants. HUD will provide technical assistance and guidance that will allow program participants to spend less time gathering information and more time engaged in conversation with the community regarding the most effective means of advancing their fair housing goals. In addition, HUD is facilitating the integration of previously separate planning processes into a single planning process, to the extent feasible, both to streamline the work that program participants undertake and to support the weaving of fair housing values throughout housing and community development decision-making. Under this new process, program participants will submit assessments on a regular schedule and HUD will review them. In addition to achieving more meaningful fair housing outcomes through direct alignment with related planning and investment processes, HUD expects that the clarity and explicit direction provided by the proposed rule should help program participants comply with their affirmatively furthering fair housing responsibilities. One of HUD's aspirations for the proposed rule is that it will reduce the risk of litigation for program participants. Moreover, HUD's commitment to be an ongoing partner in the process should result submissions that meet the standards for analysis that the proposed rule seeks to establish.Summary of Costs and Benefits

As detailed in the Regulatory Impact Analysis (found at Regulations.gov under the docket number 5173-P-01-RIA), HUD does not expect a large aggregate change in compliance costs for program participants as a result of the proposed rule. As a result of increased emphasis on affirmatively furthering fair housing within the planning process, there may be increased compliance costs for some program participants, while for others the improved process and goal-setting, combined with HUD's provision of foundational data, is likely to decrease compliance costs. Program participants are currently required to engage in outreach and collect data in order to meet the obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. As more fully addressed in the Regulatory Impact Analysis that accompanies this rule, HUD estimates net annual compliance costs in the range of $3 to $9 million.

Further, HUD believes that the rule has the potential for substantial benefitfor program participants and the communities they serve. The rule would improve the fair housing planning process by providing greater clarity to the steps that program participants undertake to meaningfully affirmatively further fair housing, and at the same time provide better resources for program participants to use in taking such steps, hopefully resulting in increased compliance and fewer instances of litigation. Through this rule, HUD commits to provide states, local governments, PHAs, the communities they serve, and the general public with local and regional data on patterns of integration, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, access to key community assets, and disproportionate housing needs based on classes protected by the Fair Housing Act. From these data, program participants should be better able to evaluate their present environment to assess fair housing issues, identify the primary determinants that account for those issues, set forth fair housing priorities and goals, and document these activities.

The rule covers program participants that are subject to a great diversity of local preferences and economic and social contexts across American communities and regions. For these reasons, HUD recognizes there is significant uncertainty associated with quantifying outcomes of the process, proposed by this rule, to identify barriers to fair housing, the priorities of program participants in deciding which barriers to address, the types of policies designed to address those barriers, and the effects of those policies on protected classes. In brief, because of the diversity of communities and regions across the Nation and the resulting uncertainty of precise outcomes of the proposed AFFH planning process, HUD cannot quantify the benefits and costs of polices influenced by the rule. HUD is confident, however, that the rule will create a process that allows for each jurisdiction to not only undertake meaningful fair housing planning, but to have capacity and a well-considered strategy to implement actions to affirmatively further fair housing.
