Trump boasts of pushing low-income housing out of suburbs
President Donald Trump is pining for support in the suburbs, and pushing out low-income housing is playing a part in his bid to get it.
In a set of tweets and in remarks in Texas on Wednesday, Trump bragged about his administration’s rescinding an Obama-era fair housing rule that was meant to combat housing discrimination. He characterized low-income housing as a detriment to the suburbs and claimed that Democrats were out to uproot and destroy suburbia — a cultural sphere that he equated to the American dream.
“You know the suburbs, people fight all of their lives to get into the suburbs and have a beautiful home,” Trump said during a talk in Midland, Texas. “There will be no more low-income housing forced into the suburbs. “It’s been going on for years. I’ve seen conflict for years. It’s been hell for suburbia.”
His comments were an echo of his tweets earlier in the day, in which he said suburbanites would “no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood.”

Trump is talking though his ass again.
Zoning is usually a local issue which the Feds have very little to do with.
Sounds like he's still living in the 1960s. In many parts of the country it costs less to live in the suburbs than it does in the city.
Per low income housing rather than segregated projects many municipalities instead issue housing vouchers that go towards rent.

Then again, that asshole never misses a chance to outdo himself.
