BETSY MCCAUGHEY: Democrats Are Out To Destroy The Suburbs In The Name Of Equity

If you’ve worked hard to afford a suburban house with a patch of lawn where your kids can play, you’re under attack.

The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they’ve earned the money to pay for it or not.

The Biden administration announced Jan. 19 that it will require all towns across the U.S. to submit “Equity Plans” showing how they will make it possible for low-income people to live there by providing affordable housing, transportation and other resources.

Towns that don’t meet the cookie-cutter requirement for economic diversity will lose federal funding.

No one’s denying there’s a housing shortage. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing some reasonable proposals such as allowing mother-in-law apartments and relaxing environmental restrictions on residential building.

But Hochul’s biggest proposal, the Housing Compact, is another misguided attack on local control and single-family zoning.

  1. Just like Jake Day building section 8 housing all over Salisbury creating a crime cesspool now he’s going to do it on a State level targeting peaceful small towns . Move from Maryland

  2. It’s “tranquil” until that welfare apartment goes up.

    Then, cars start getting stolen, houses broken into, kids fighting at the bus stop, drugs being sold on the corner, bikes getting stolen and white people moving somewhere else.
    Rinse and repeat.

    Because DEMOCRATS think you moved to a “tranquil” neighborhood so you could live next door to a welfare mother with 4 kids who are stupid and violent.

    Start hanging democrats.

  3. there is already equity in housing and work. If you work hard and have a pay check you can decide what to spend your money on….not making enough? get a better job..or maybe 2 jobs. then you too can choose where you want to live. what will happen is all the people that are not socialist demon crats will move out leaving no tax base and vacant, run down buildins all over the place..hopefully in the next 5 years I can leave MD? but where to go? Texas, Florida?
