Judge rules low-income renters can access more affluent neighborhoods

WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement an Obama-era rule on Jan. 1 that would give low-income families greater access to housing in more affluent neighborhoods.
The 2016 rule was designed to break up areas of concentrated poverty in two dozen metro regions, from Atlanta and Charlotte to San Diego and Honolulu.
It would operate by taking into account the rental prices in specific neighborhoods -- instead of averaging across an entire metropolitan area -- making it easier for poor people to afford apartments in middle-class neighborhoods with better schools, lower crime rates and more job opportunities.

I'd just like to point out that this sentence is false.
It will NOT make it "easier for poor people to afford..........".
They still can't afford it. Getting me to pay their rent doesn't meant THEY can afford it.

How long will these remain unaffected by the influx of new residents?

Love this quote
Oh really? "Studies" huh.
Don't suppose those "studies" noted any other effects of moving Section 8 people into an area in large numbers?
Nah.

So bring shite bags into neighborhoods where people have worked their asses off to get what they have and the reward is lower property values and shitty kids destroying nice schools. Awesome.

Gotcha.
So it will effectively import the crime and bad actors into good, established neighborhoods.
White Flight Volume II in the making.

If Obama made the rule, then Trump should go ahead and make another.

Hmm, maybe 'somebody' will be able to develop all that Joseph E Boone street property across from the Mercedes Dome in Atlanta after all?
I bet Emma & John won't be happy to hear this as they kept that voting block the way it is just to stay in office all these years, and blocked developers with a vengeance.
This might work out in ways they didn't envision.

"It's about the right to choose where to live and the right not to be segregated. Good housing policy does not confine families to high poverty neighborhoods."
Two questions:
1. How did those neighborhoods become high-poverty neighborhoods; and
2. What becomes of the high-poverty neighborhoods once Section 8 moves on to destroy another healthy host neighborhood?

Government assistance isn't meant to make everyone equal. You want to live in a nicer neighborhood...work harder and pay for it out of your own pocket. Why should taxpayers be forced to subsidize the decline of our own middle class neighborhoods by expanding section 8 to allow freeloaders to move in and make the neighborhood less desirable.

It's crazy how progressives keep trying things that don't work over and over again. This time will be different!
It's culture stupid.

Throwing poop in a perfume shop will not make the poop smell better. It will make the shop smell worse.

Trump has to issue an EO and be deemed a monster by the media. Trump takes the arrow to preserve sanity yet again.
As previously stated the head of HUD dropped the ball on this one.

So those of us who actually have to pay our own rent have to live in places we can afford and we still have to supplement rent for leeches? Makes perfect sense.

So much for equality. Where's the move to get the ghetto into UPPER FRICKIN' class neighborhoods?
