None of the elites pushing this stuff are willing to have section 8 next door to themselves. Wonder why.

You may be on to something.

Living in the suburbs is not the same as living in the city. You need a car. The catch, if you have a car, that count's as an asset, and you may lose your benefits if you are not careful. If you do not have a car aka "reliable transportation" you can not work. they are removed from any chance of having a good job.

so this move does far more harm than good for everyone involved.

meanwhile, they get relocated to the "better life", and property in the cities is freed up for development. Good, expensive, money making property. So the only people who benefit from this are the banks and the construction companies.

I'd say your probably right. Out of everything is this thread so far that sounds like the most likely motivator and outcome.

I think you are right. Everything about it seems like a blockbusting scheme but the naive and short-sighted will definetly mistake it for racism.

Last decade has been about destroying inner city projects and giving that land to luxury developers and now the bankers have decided land is too expensive for mass acquisition in the suburbs so they concoct a scheme to crash property values.

President Bill Clinton started a similar program in 1994 called “Moving to Opportunity Initiative,” which moved thousands of mostly African-American families from government projects to higher quality homes in safer and less racially segregated neighborhoods in several counties across the country.

The 15-year experiment bombed.

crime simply followed them to their safer neighborhoods, ruining the quality of life for existing residents.

Damn crime, always following black people around!

When you move the fox to a house with plumper chickens...

“Males…were arrested more often than those in the control group, primarily for property crimes,” the study found.

 

Here's a talk by someone who visited some of the areas Obama wants to destroy. His white liberal female audience initially think they are being given a chance to laugh at some horrible white people being racist, but it's a little more complex than that.

"One black man is a delightful dinner guest, 50 black men is a ghetto."

Ghetto people are what they are and Obama will just start making a ghetto out of the suburbs. Obama's legacy will be as the worst president ever and will be used as an example of what not to do.
