Affordable housing for the deaf, to which Feds say "too many deaf people here"

Arizona is defying a federal order to eliminate apartments for deaf seniors at a housing complex built specifically -- for the deaf.

"I think it's about the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who attempted to negotiate the impasse. "There are a lot of stories of out-of-control regulators, but this just seems to be going to the extreme."

A 2005 federal study found that the U.S. had virtually no affordable housing for the deaf. So the federal government helped build Apache ASL Trails, a 75-unit apartment building in Tempe, Ariz., designed specifically for the deaf. Ninety-percent of the units are currently occupied by deaf and deaf-blind seniors.

But now, the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development says Apache ASL Trails violates civil rights law -- because it shows a preference for the hearing-impaired.

The feds gave Arizona the money to build affordable housing for the deaf, under the Bush administration. Now the sheer idiocy of the Great Pretender's reign is exposed in the fact they say the charter for the award to build the assisted living apartment complex has " ... no legal authority contained in any of Apache Trails funding to permit such a priority or preference."

Huh?

You think it gives you a headache? I wonder how the socialists can be this inconsistent and not have regular migraines!

That's a pity but then liberals are cruel people.
