Ben Carson opposes integrated housing [View all]

The Obama administration had a plan to promote integrated housing. Carson called it "social engineering".

On the floor of my rent controlled apartment in the San Fernando Valley there are African American, Latino, Indian, Iranian, Greek, Russian familes and families of all races and nationalities. I wouldn't trade one of them for a Deplorable as a neighbor.
