Hossage Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Two taxpayer funded, ACORN-style housing groups have baselessly libeled the Orchard Park Town Board as racist for exercising their zoning prerogative to reject a subsidized public housing senior citizen's home on land zoned for industry. People, Inc. and H.O.M.E. are community organizing and advocate groups that exist to find discrimination and violations of housing law. It is in their interest to do so, because they then get paid by the state and federal government to sue, in court settlements and in taxpayer money to provide a solution, or get some of their advocates hired by those whom they accuse to keep the issue quiet. They may also provide some legitimate service, although it is never voluntary. Upon its own investigations, H.O.M.E. has unsurprisingly found it has to sue or provide services to relieve discrimination 96% of the time. Part of the mission statement of H.O.M.E is to decrease concentrations of poverty. They are practicing social engineering by exporting poverty and reverse gentrifying neighborhoods with our money. H.O.M.E has stated that because the residents of Orchard Park are 98% white and the residents who will move into the area may not be, they are necessarily racist for not changing the zoning laws. "If 98 percent of Orchard Park residents are not African American, the implicit idea of any residency requirement would necessarily have a discriminatory effect," Gehl said. A spurious accusation of racism to should not trump the law, and should not exhaust the treasuries of small towns who are unable to afford legal defense. H.O.M.E settlements and court fees range from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of millions, something Orchard Park cannot afford.
