Question

Zoning and Disparate Impact

In the article posted for his lesson, a rule adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) could potentially deny federal funds to municipalities that do not enact affirmative measures acceptable to HUD to integrate neighborhoods. Is this a proper use of administrative power? [Disclaimer: This is a Yahoo! article that doesn't go very deep into the issue, and describes a plausible scenario that could happen, but also may not happen...this is a much more complex issue...]

Answer 1

Since this is not an article based on extensive research; we cannot make any assumption based on this article; which is a Yahoo! the article that is just explaining a plausible scenario. Hence I would not make such conclusions as; the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) should potentially deny federal funds to municipalities that do not enact affirmative measures acceptable to HUD to integrate neighborhoods based on this article only.
