What was a mere sniff of grapeshot under the Obama reign is coming back, hard and fast

Hey Suburban Voters, Joe Biden's Housing Policies Will Ruin Your Communities

Stanley Kurtz, National Review:

I’ve been studying Joe Biden’s housing plans, and what I’ve seen is both surprising and frightening. I expected that a President Biden would enforce the Obama administration’s radical AFFH (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing) regulation to the hilt. That is exactly what Biden promises to do. By itself, that would be more than enough to end America’s suburbs as we’ve known them, as I’ve explained repeatedly here at NRO.

What surprises me is that Biden has actually promised to go much further than AFFH. Biden has embraced Cory Booker’s strategy for ending single-family zoning in the suburbs and creating what you might call “little downtowns” in the suburbs. Combine the Obama-Biden administration’s radical AFFH regulation with Booker’s new strategy, and I don’t see how the suburbs can retain their ability to govern themselves. 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. Shouldn’t voters know that this is what’s at stake in the election?

I’m assuming the sheer hatred for Trump by all of the media and its whipped-up mob of citizens will take back the Senate and the presidency. With that power the Democrats will dump the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court and go at it, installing the once-radical agenda of OCA and her crowd.

Unlike the columnist above, I don’t think knowledge of what’s coming will do anything to sway the majority of voters, either because it’s what they want or they simply don’t believe the implications of a one-party rule of Leftists.

From the limited conversations with TDS sufferers I’ve managed lately, it’s obvious that they don’t understand that we’re facing the destruction of our power grid, a doubling of fuel prices and a concomitant soaring of food costs, civil disorder, and, probably the return of the bubonic plague and the arrival of the Pale Rider.

Add to that blindness a thoughtless conviction that our country was founded on wickedness and must be completely rebuilt on socialist lines, and the mere destruction of the suburbs will seem like a fair price to pay for our ancestors’ sins.

And what can’t be obtained by persuasion will be accomplished by intimidation. The appearance of a (plastic) pitch fork-brandishing mob in the Hamptons yesterday may be mere theatre today, but no one can say, later, that they couldn’t see what was coming.
