President Donald Trump and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson have finally ended the Obama-Biden era regulation Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing from 2015 that conditioned receipt of $3 billion of annual community development block grants on rezoning neighborhoods along racial and income guidelines. Now, under the new rule, called Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice, finalized on July 23, local control of zoning has been restored. It states, “It must be local governments, not HUD, that exercise control of administering local housing policies, including zoning and development policies that are unique to a particular community.” This is a victory for federalism, and restores local control over zoning — the way it should be. So for now the battle is won, but longer term, the war to abolish the suburbs will not end, especially if former Vice President Joe Biden gets elected. If he wins, he’ll bring the regulation right back. From Biden’s campaign website, “Biden will implement the Obama-Biden Administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule requiring communities receiving certain federal funding to proactively examine housing patterns and identify and address policies that have a discriminatory effect.” The question the American people have to ask this year is if they want local responsibility to govern their own communities — or want to abolish local government in favor of faceless bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. to run your local town or city council’s most important decisions. How do you think they will choose?
