To achieve liberal utopia, formerly livable suburbs must be reduced to extensions of inner city ghettos. From the state that gave us the infamous Cabrini–Green housing projects, DuPage Policy Journal reports on Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s suburban Section 8 housing plan:
Taking aim at single family homeowners in the Chicago suburbs, Pritkzer said their “shameful” opposition to taxpayer-subsidized Section 8 apartments are responsible for driving up the cost of Illinois housing.
It’s all about affordability. Housing is more affordable when other people are forced to pay for it.
Community zoning laws “have made it too difficult and costly to build new (Section 8) housing,” Pritzker said, chiding suburban Illinoisans who oppose high-density, subsidized apartments as old-fashioned and behind the “times.”
Unscrupulous developers who rely on coercive financing via Big Government love Pritzker’s plan.
Pritzker was also lauded by non-profits paid by the state to move the mentally-ill out of institutions and into subsidized rental apartments. …
Pritzker’s plan would also require communities to accept government-subsidized housing for people with “serious mental illness” through non-profits funded by taxpayers.
Those with substance abuse problems will also be granted subsidized homes in formerly nice neighborhoods.
As with the Black Lives Matter riots, Minneapolis provides a model for others to emulate:
Minneapolis was the first community in the U.S. to try barring single-family home zoning, in 2018. New housing development, as measured by housing permits issued, has fallen by 88 percent there since 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
That must do wonders for affordability.
White picket fences are racist. They will be replaced by chain link topped with barbed wire after middle class American culture has been eradicated. Social engineering = cultural genocide.
