President Donald Trump said that he may end one Obama-era housing rule, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), claiming the regulation that was aimed at desegregating neighborhoods has had a ‘devastating impact’ on America’s suburbs.

“At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs, and others, I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE,” he wrote June 30 on a Twitter post. “Not fair to homeowners, I may END!”
