a new form of busing

is this just a new form of busing? we all know that for as much heartache that went into busing it was a failure..

but now... a new attempt to force desegregation

"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong,” he said.

Data from this discrimination database would be used with zoning laws, housing finance policy, infrastructure planning and transportation to alleviate alleged discrimination and segregation.

"This is just the latest of a series of attempts by HUD to social engineer the American people," said Ed Pinto, of the American Enterprise Institute. "It started with public housing and urban renewal, which failed spectacularly back in the 50's and 60's. They tried it again in the 90's when they wanted to transform house finance, do away with down payments, and the result was millions of foreclosures and financial collapse.”

Also troublesome to critics is that the HUD secretary, in announcing this proposed rule, blamed poverty on zip codes – rather than other socio-economic factors that studies have shown contribute to poverty.

in the 40's there were vital inner city neighborhoods.. then the make up changed.. and those same neighborhoods crumbled..

allowing a successful hard working family an opportunity to get into a better neighborhood already exists..

just as the opportunity for a neighborhood to clean up it's own city exists.

creating a goverment forced "opportunity" has never worked.. instead it has had the opposite effect..
