In the flash of an eye, the world’s oil supply was cut by 5 percent. The world needs more oil, but Green New Deal Dems say no.

The American people are still awaiting the Trump administration rewrite of the Obama-era Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule that conditioned more than $3 billion of annual community development block grants to more than 1,200 cities and counties on making changes to local zoning based on income and racial guidelines. It would have put the federal government in charge of zoning. Congress stepped in and blocked the rule. However, HUD Secretary Ben Carson appears committed to continuing to use block grants to make changes to zoning, not to address racial or income inequality, but to help making housing more affordable. In an Aug. 13, 2018 interview with the Wall Street Journal he said, “I would incentivize people who really would like to get a nice juicy government grant [to look at their zoning codes].” While addressing zoning and removing regulations to help make housing affordable is a laudable goal, municipalities should be the ones to address it, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. We’ve seen this movie before. Once it is no longer up to cities and counties to make these decisions, the federal government will never give it back. What do you think?
