In a move squarely aimed at courting white conservative suburban voters, the Trump administration on Thursday officially dismantled an Obama-era rule that sought to lessen the impact of decades of racial segregation in America's neighborhoods.
"The AFFH rule was a ruse for social engineering under the guise of desegregation, essentially turning @HUDgov into a national zoning board," he tweeted. A White House fact sheet distributed to reporters that described the move as,"SAVING OUR SUBURBS: This action ends the Federal encroachment on local communities that threatened our nation’s suburbs."
"The Fair Housing Act sought to undo decades of social engineering via racist housing policies that created segregated communities," she tweeted."Shameful for a HUD Sec to be so willfully ignorant of history and so disdainful of his obligation to uphold law." Under Obama, federal money was contingent upon the community proactively considering how to reduce inequality and provide fair housing in regulations and permitting decisions.

I’ve seen first hand that this policy did not work. Just like Sec 8 housing the only people who liked it were realtors because people who owned homes would sell and just move further out. School districts went from good to poor performing.
Just because a rule has the word in it fair does not mean it was actually fair you should go in and read the policy before you make judgment like Yahoo news did not obviously read it
