Joe Biden has not come out of the rat hole. In fact he is use to it. One thing he isn’t use to though is slums in his neighborhood. But if he wins, count on Joe to reverse the Trump policy of allowing low income housing in suburbia. Those who live in the suburbs have fled the lawlessness of big city mayhem. They started a new, enjoyable, safe and American life without the anxiety of of constantly worrying about their safety and the safety of their family. Biden wants to end all that. He is for inner city crack, opiods, guns, murders, rapes and burglaries to come to your suburban setting destroying the values and dreams that make up the middle class .

Unsurprisingly for a candidate who has pretty much staked his campaign on the successes of President Obama, Biden has pledged to restore the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule. But the former vice president’s plan goes further—or, in Trump’s words, gets “MUCH WORSE.” Biden draws from the housing proposals of his erstwhile Democratic rivals, such as Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), in adding sticks to the carrots of inclusionary housing enforcement. One of the country’s biggest housing challenges, especially in high-cost cities and wealthy suburbs, is local zoning policies that make it impossible to build enough housing to meet demand, with the result of sending housing prices skyward. Biden’s plan would withhold transportation funds from jurisdictions that don’t reform their zoning codes to encourage more and fairer housing. That’s a much more powerful tool than the community block grants currently tied to AFFH: Suburbs may be content to forgo funds to promote equity and integration, but they really don’t want potholes ruining their roads.

It’s this proposal that Kurtz thinks would eradicate the ‘burbs. “I don’t see how the suburbs can retain their ability to govern themselves,” he writes. “It will mean the end of local control, the end of a style of living that many people prefer to the city, and therefore the end of meaningful choice in how Americans can live.”
