Our NIMBY-in-Chief's decision is both morally and factually wrong. There is no causal link between affordable housing and crime. This is segregation. This is racism. This is evil.

Donald Trump tweeted: "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 I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH [Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing] Rule. Enjoy!
