but you know ... a predominantly white already well developed neighborhood applying and lying for Federal grants designed to improve worn down neighborhoods doesnt fit the "democrats want to destroy the suburbs to steal votes" rhetoric.

fuck tucker carlson and the idiots who slurp his fluids up

Somehow carlson turns rich people trying to steal money for poor people into ... democrats want drug addicted vagrants on your suburban streets ... democrats bad, republicans will preserve your fragile white lily Andy Griffith life

tucker lie #1 :

"the Obama administration withheld more than $20 million in federal funds from Westchester County."

- this is a lie. Obama didnt with hold funds. Instead the govt found out that Westchester had been lying on their grant applications for years collecting over 50 million through the block development program. The govt stopped granting their applications in 2010.

trucker lie #2:

"To its credit, Westchester fought back, because it could afford good lawyers, and eventually won in court."

- this is a lie. They lost very quickly and Westchester promised to cure the fair housing requirement to receive the block development grant money but took them 9 years to actually do it and multiple times Westchester lied from 2010 to 2019 and HUD would check and find out they were lying.

Why would Tucker Carlson so blatantly lie?

its fucking weird

I don’t know the story but if any local government lied to get federal money than that’s wrong under any rule. I really don’t think race had anything to do with it..it’s a liberal county, votes blue. I think it’s more a population density or just a nimby issue.

But I really do think think the federal government doesn’t have any business forcing re zoning laws to build high rise or lots of apartments…It’s more of an eye sore, traffic and population density issues.

Ill never forget I worked with a super liberal who knows Tim Kaine…the amount of hell she raised when an abandon mall project was to install affordable housing near her. All those progressives bitched and complained, finally stopped it. NIMBY always with the libs

I never heard of this HUD Community Block Development Grant before Tucker Carlson and i think its a good program (help low to moderate communities develop) but I was amazed at how much Tucker Carlson just out right lied and made stuff up.
-------------------
In early 2009, the Obama administration made a surprising, probably unprecedented accusation against Westchester County, New York—a pretty liberal place. According to the Obama administration, Westchester was an instrument of white supremacy — not the good liberals who live in Westchester, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, many others. No one accused them of being bigots. The problem was the buildings they lived in. All those single-family homes — row upon leafy row, set back from the street, well-tended lawns and mailboxes — were examples of racism — literally "structural racism." The only solution, the Obama people announced, was much greater density: more subsidized housing complexes in Westchester, more hi-rise apartment buildings, maybe some drug-addicted vagrants living on the sidewalk, begging for change. Only if Westchester became more like the Bronx could it become non-racist.

-------------------------------

"According to the Obama administration, Westchester was an instrument of white supremacy .."

This is just straight dog whistle word salad to rile up the Tucker Carlson fan base ...

This program was started in the 70s under Ford, not Obama

This program requires 70% of the grant money to be used towards developing low to moderate income housing .. so if your exclusively single family only zoning, you cant use 70% of the grant money to help low to moderate income bc you have no low to moderate income.

Obama wasnt forcing communities to build high rises etc. Westchester was taking money they should have never received by intentionally committing fraud on their grant application forms.

People who watched Carlsons show think Obama is forcing white communities to have "drug addicted vagrants living on their streets" .... when this is not true, not even close to true

im just amazed at the level Carlson will lie and his viewers take it as gospel.

This took 2 minutes of googling to fact check

Stunning example of Tucker Carlson being an absolute untrustworthy source of information .. fake news, misinformation ....

Here is Robert Reich doing the same fucking thing. Sending a letter of support against a prosposal of affordable housing complex built in his neighborhood.

He didn’t even have the fucking balls to speak publicly…yet he can’t shut the fuck up about affordable housing across the county.

What a fucking coward.

Clinton cabinet member and Obama advisor…what a fucking piece of hypocritical shit

Dang brother ... did you read the article?

I dont know Reich and dont give a shit about defending him but ..this article is about whether this single home in berkeley should be preserved as historic landmark or developed into like a 5 unit duplex.

Reich supported the 130 year old house as being designated a historic landmark

AND

said the proposal would include exactly 1 low income unit.

This article is a very poor choice to examine or discuss low or affordable housing in major cities.
---------------

I 100% agree with your premise .. people support low income housing .. until low income housing comes to their street. Then its "oh fuck no". I wish I had affordable housing arund my house, I got straight up section 8 and it sucks. Littering and loittering non stop.

Denmark prided itself on being open and accepting and tolerant of other cultures .. then muslim immigrants started showing up and they are passing special rules for "non-western" immigrants.

Your take up for a lying coward like Reich because he is a liberal who says one thing and does the complete opposite.

1. Look at the house…that’s of historical significance? It’s falling down trash and we can easily see they are using a loophole.

2. Funny how we aren’t aligning with the activist in the story who is claiming minorities have been historically forced out of this area and have an opportunity to change that with this project…they wouldn’t be involved if that wasn’t the case or are they just lying?

3. Reich refusing to speak and when asked saying only 1 unit if deemed affordable. This is the proposal to get plans on books for vote and not the final plan..he is looking for an out because he knows he’s being a hypocrite per the usual. If Reich was honestly a proponent for affordable housing he would support the project and demand most units be “deemed” affordable housing. You don’t do what he is doing.

This is a perfect example..white progressives using an bad faith loophole to keep out housing you want the federal government to impose.

This is like the Black Lives Matter ceo buying the mansion in 98% white elite neighborhood. When your actions do this, it’s tells everyone your not a serious person…no body pushing the lie of white supremacy moves into the the whitest neighborhood in Florida.

It’s clown shit, it’s a grift…you’ve been duped

The article you posted was about 1 old house built pre 1900s that a developer wanted to take down and build a 5 unit duplex thing.

Im sure there are much better situations and articles to be a medium for the pros and cons of affordable housing.

I posted a long article about the Wharf development in DC that has a lot more meat on the bone if we wanted to chew on the pros and cons of affordable housing and gentrification.

Gentrification, white flight and now the white return ... that interests me for the sociology and nature of humans approach .... I really dont give a shit about trying to score political points on here or defending some dude I dont know who wrote a letter about 1 old house in a city all the way across the country.

I was in Bethany Beach this weekend with my brother who just bought a beach house for 620k about 5 miles from the beach. And he didnt even view or look at the house before buying it. Bought it online. Some of his buddies also bought beach houses this summer, one bought a 1.5M beach house.

It was stunning to spend time with the "haves" of the world. I bought my townhouse for 240k ... imagine having income to just buy a beach house for 620k to 1.5M just because.

I hated Trump and did play the "us v them" when he was president .. but now? man i really really really dont give a shit about defending a D.

It’s a bad look per the usua from Reich, if he was a champion of the cause he woulda demanded most were low income and not a weak letter of support. But again the federal government should have no business blackmailing local municipalities to change zoning laws under any circumstances. In the county I grew up in, which is deeply red and extremely well managed, have always built affordable housing and have partnered with agencies to provide it…it’s well plan and space was carved out that made sense…near buslines and places that provide services which accommodate the community. The narrative of suburbia is racist cause they don’t want high density properties…just shows the lack of understanding by elite progressives about the community itself.

Im a liberal mooby. And that train of thought absolutely does not represent me. Off the top of my head i can think of about 300 other friends and family members that wouldn’t be represented by that lady.
