NATIONAL HEADLINES…HOUSING ACCORD IN WESTCHESTER…SEEKS TO DESEGREGATE WHITE TOWNS..

 

This significant lawsuit that the county of Westchester had to settle finally lets us se what has really been going on…Segregation has been alive and well for years…I have always said the county was the one not responsible, not Yonkers…the do gooders of caring over there, but not having any affordable homes in their own town, have caused amazing problems and environmental nitemares of workers having to travel over the Tappan Zee Bridge..

What does this mean…like a health care town meeting, does this mean inhouse fighting…like years ago, does this mean people fighing over property values..it means….we don’t know…lets hope it means that more affordable homes will be built. The 50 MILLION DOLLAR settlement, is one unheard of…47 municipalities have taken county cdbg monies…but have profoundly segregated out county housing opportunities..the problem becoming one which I had asked the county to use a carrot and stick…to withhold monies if not complied with…however the strong arm was not strong enough..and the lawsuit occurred  stay tuned…
