Uncle Sam’s Assault on the Suburbs

Uncle Sam’s Assault on the Suburbs | Economics21
"...Advocates of the AFFH praise the rule as an extension of the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
Like much of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the CRA) prohibits the discrimination of buyers or renters of housing based upon race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability...
The AFFH rule would go a step further.
Rather than simply prohibiting discrimination, this rule would mandate integration of minorities into suburban communities in an attempt to overcome so-called historic patterns of segregation.
The rule could force all communities, even those with no record of discrimination, to build public housing targeted to ethnic and racial minorities.
