....“To ensure that "every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of," HUD [Housing and Urban Development] has published a new fair-housing regulation intended to give people access to better neighborhoods than the ones they currently live in.

The goal is to help communities understand "fair housing barriers" and "establish clear goals" for "improving integrated living patterns and overcoming historic patterns of segregation."

“This proposed rule represents a 21st century approach to fair housing, a step forward to ensuring that every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of – where they have a fair shot at reaching their full potential in life,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.

“For the first time ever," Donovan added, "HUD will provide data for every neighborhood in the country, detailing the access African American, Latino, Asian, and other communities have to local assets, including schools, jobs, transportation, and other important neighborhood resources that can play a role in helping people move into the middle class."

According to HUD, long-term solutions include "helping people gain access to different neighborhoods and channeling investments into under-served areas." The mapping tool may guide development and zoning decisions, for example.

In a July 16 speech to the NAACP, Donovan said the American Dream still isn't within equal reach of all communities. He lamented the lack of diversity in America's boardrooms, schools, and the nation's "strongest neighborhoods."....."

My take is; section 8 housing may be coming to your suburb so everyone has a "fair shot at reaching their full potential in life"

Hell, I figure I could be president, who do I see about getting a fair shot?

As far as Lawton, well, it is next to FT. Sill. Every town next to an army base (Junction city KS, Kileen TX, Fayetteville N.C., ect.) is practically section 8. But when. Whole town is built around supporting said installation, a great many houses are just 2 year rentals, and the military isn't exactly paying a fortune.

The pay for most isn't great but it isn't bad for the typical HS grad not heading to college. However, housing allowance is pretty decent and with a little prudent planning military folks eligible to live off post can get decent housing.
