I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood...

.Your housing prices will go up based on the market, and crime will go down. I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH Rule. Enjoy!

It's really in-your-face now.

We'll find out who we are as a nation in November. It's America or Trump.

thug's history w/ his own rental properties, he always had a very low opinion of his tenants at his properties and and always been racist too, from his daddy of course.

He's full of BS too, if he thinks the house wives of suburban America are paying attention to him. They're not and suburban America has their own issues to deal with, and of course trump didn't say one damn word about it. A hypocrite too, being that most of his development has been in big buildings/skyscrapers, golf clubs (which kept the locals out).

Infrastructure is needing massive amounts of work, due to a majority of suburbs were built in the aftermath of WWII and later (1950s-60s-70s), and all are suffering a midlife crisis. Many of these bedroom communities don't have upscale jobs / downtown centers, just fast food and retail joints all up and down the main streets of suburban America, which don't offer a lot of high paying jobs.

Some are not doing good, while others are. Such is the life of a city.

...but they should also hear their own chances of buying an affordable house in a nice neighborhood dwindling under this order.

thus pricing out a lot of these previously affordable bedroom communities. A very good point made by you. Thanks.
