Dr. Ben Carson's HUD To 'Reinterpret' Affirmative Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule
2017-07-21
[Powerline] I’ve been critical of President Trump today. But few days go by without me being happy he defeated Hillary Clinton.

Here’s a reminder of why. Yesterday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson announced that his agency will "reinterpret" the ultra-instrusive Obama housing rule known as Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). The rule was designed by the Obama administration to seize federal control over local zoning for the purpose of creating neighborhoods that comply with the left’s race-based vision of where people should live. We discussed it here, among other places.

Secretary Carson didn’t say exactly how he plans to "reinterpret" AFFH. However, he told the Washington Examiner that he doesn’t believe in the "manipulation" associated with the rule or with the burdens it imposes on local communities. As a candidate for president, he called it "a doomed-to-fail attempt to "legislate racial equality."

#6  Just ignore it / don't enforce it.

Secretary Carson is giving everyone fair warning that the rule will be changed, allowing local communities to prepare to resist attempts at continued enforcement by HUD's very deep state. And Dr. Carson's successes running HUD will bolster future runs for office -- I think the Senate rather than the presidency, as he's shown he hasn't the temperament for a modern presidential campaign -- or subsequent assignments heading other departments.

#5  ^ I'm pretty it's regulation, not legislation. Just ignore it / don't enforce it.

#4  A majority in Congress and they won't repeal the rule, even in face of its abuse by those in power. The Trunks were never the party of 'smaller government', just ineffectual and incompetent.

#2  What is there to reinterpret? Just rip it out by its roots.

#1  A quiet professional going about the work of 'Making America Great Again.' More men and women like Dr. Carson are urgently needed.
