In a society governed by extreme egalitarianism, freedom of association is but a pipe-dream. Our elite, and those elected to govern and dictate our lives, utilize diversity and multiculturalism (non-white legal immigration/refugees) as a weapon to bludgeon whats left of the Historic America Nation.
And now, non-white Democrats have declared war on the white suburbs. [Democrats Seek To Outlaw Suburban, Single-Family House Zoning, Calling It Racist And Bad For The Environment, Daily Caller, December 23, 2019]:
Democrats in Virginia may override local zoning to bring high-density housing, including public housing, to every neighborhood statewide — whether residents want it or not.
The measure could quickly transform the suburban lifestyle enjoyed by millions, permitting duplexes to be built on suburban lots in neighborhoods previously consisting of quiet streets and open green spaces. Proponents of “upzoning” say the changes are necessary because suburbs are bastions of segregation and elitism, as well as bad for the environment.
The move, which aims to provide “affordable housing,” might be fiercely opposed by local officials throughout the state, who have deliberately created and preserved neighborhoods with particular character — some dense and walkable, others semi-rural and private — to accommodate people’s various preferences.
But Democrats tout a state-level law’s ability to replace “not in my backyard” with “yes, in your backyard.”
House Delegate Ibraheem Samirah, a Democrat, introduced six housing measures Dec. 19, coinciding with Democrats’ takeover of the state legislature in November.
“Single-family housing zones would become two-zoned,” Samirah told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Areas that would be impacted most would be the suburbs that have not done their part in helping out.”
“The real issues are the areas in between very dense areas which are single-family zoned. Those are the areas that the state is having significant trouble dealing with. They’re living in a bubble,” he said.
He said suburbs were “mostly white and wealthy” and that their local officials — who have historically been in charge of zoning — were ignoring the desires of poor people, who did not have time to lobby them to increase suburban density.
In response to a question about whether people who bought homes in spacious suburbs have valid reasons, not based on discrimination, for preferring to live that way — including a love for nature and desire to preserve woods and streams — he said: “Caring about nature is very important, but the more dense a neighborhood is, the more energy efficient it is.”
He said if local officials seek to change requirements like setbacks to make it impossible to build dense housing in areas zoned to preserve a nature feel, “if they make setbacks to block duplexes, there’d have to be a lawsuit to resolve whether those zoning provisions were necessary.”
It quoted Alex Baca, a Washington, D.C., urbanist with the site Greater Greater Washington, saying that single-family zoning is a tool for wealthy whites to maintain segregated neighborhoods and that the abolition of low-density neighborhoods is necessary for equity.
CityLab acknowledged that “residents might reasonably desire to keep the neighborhoods they love the way they are,” but said that implementing the law at the state level makes sure that those concerns can be more easily ignored.
“By preempting the ability of local governments to set their own restrictive zoning policies, the state policy would circumnavigate the complaints of local NIMBY homeowners who want to block denser housing,” it wrote.
The restoration of restrictive covenants would bring back sanity to the USA overnight (which is why the NAACP spent 30+ years waging legal war on them, culminating in Shelley vs. Kraemer decision in 1948), but this would require individual white people to admit they have collective interests worth fighting for and defending. We once did this, in a nation long forgotten: it was called the United States of America.

I knew this chick who lived in NYC. She was working two jobs and sending her son to a private school. She wanted to push her kid off on me so she could go to Syria as a cook for the U.N. I put the kaibosh on that one real quick. ;)

Sorry! Here's text:
Affordable housing units could be coming to the Eanes community in the next 10 years and residents are raising questions about what that means not only for their neighborhoods, but for the school district.
According to a news release from the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association, the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint shows the development of 60,000 affordable housing units in the next 10 years, with 25% of new income-restricted affordable housing specifically targeted for “high-opportunity areas” of West Austin.
Because the Barton Creek Square mall offers shopping, dining and other recreational opportunities, the area was cited as a prime location for affordable housing by the blueprint and Austin Strategic Mobility Plan.
Jim Lear, chairman of the neighborhood association’s civic affairs committee, said most residents in the area want to learn more about the project and have invited residents to a neighborhood meeting Sunday. James May, Austin community development manager for Austin’s Housing and Development Department, will provide a tutorial on the city’s affordable housing programs, the housing blueprint and how it might affect the Eanes school district.
“I think there are some mixed views on affordable housing among residents, but all we want to do is learn about what this project means,” Lear said. “With the increase in the number of students coming in over the next few years, does that mean there will be a rezoning of schools? Is it going to change the financial aspects for the district? What are the overall impacts of financial and resource levels?”

They won't be saying that about Indian Reservations, I'm sure.

Yes, I can see it on the Comments page now. : ) Thanks for your assistance here with my Ignore Thread blunder, which I was able to repair because of your helpful post elsewhere that prompted me to check my filter settings at the Setup options link.

We just need to remember what the blacks in Milwaukee were saying during the riots there a short time ago, "Don't burn our shit down. Let's go out to the suburbs and burn their shit down." :-/
