Rep. Beth Van Duyne: Biden's war on suburbs – here's how admin hopes to control you, your community

Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Act” is another delivery of radical campaign promises, but not the ones you might expect from a transportation branded bill – it’s the beginning of the end for America’s suburbs.

This plan builds on the Obama-Biden administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing policy that was revoked during my time at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by Secretary Ben Carson because it was, "unworkable and ultimately a waste of time for localities to comply with, too often resulting in funds being steered away from communities that need them most."  If you live in a home that dares to have a yard, trees, space between you and a neighbor, and you work hard to pay a mortgage, you are likely a target.   President Biden campaigned to take Obama’s already dangerous policies one step further, citing the Home Act of 2019 of Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., which would eliminate "exclusionary zoning policies and local regulations that contribute to sprawl."
