In proposed regulations that would touch any jurisdiction that accepts any sort of HUD funding, fair housing must mean a plan to “promote equity in their communities, decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community assets for people of color and other underserved communities.” Translated that means that the route to upward mobility for disadvantaged minorities lies through their relocation to more affluent communities, where they will no longer be “underserved.” The details as to how this should be done run more than 200 pages. Those required to comply will include more than 1,200 cities and counties receiving HUD funding. All will be required to develop “equity plans.”
If you don’t want federal interference in your town do not take federal money. It’s like taking money from a loan shark, you will be on the hook forever.

Folks, here’s another reason to stack. Seriously, anybody who saves money in terms of dollars or real estate is in for a big hurt.
It also screws up the demographics of a neighborhood. Do you want to open a business when you know that 20% of the residents can’t afford to eat there?
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
