Summary
A policy that could have brought an end to America’s suburbs has now been discarded. The zoning policy under the Obama administration, and later the Biden administration, created a type of equity program that localities had to follow. And the program has now been eliminated by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner.
In other news, the Department of Homeland Security has repurposed the CBP One app that could formerly be used to schedule illegal entry into the United States. It has been relaunched for self-deportation.
