Virginia Democrats Seek To Outlaw Suburban, Single-Family House Zoning, Calling It Racist And Governor’s office seeks legislation to replace Lee statue at U.S. Capitol with Nat Turner

Virginia House Del. Ibraheem Samirah introduced a bill that would override local zoning officials to permit multi-family housing in every neighborhood, changing the character of quiet suburbs.

Oregon passed a similar bill, following moves by cities such as Minneapolis; Austin, Texas; and Seattle.

Proponents say urban lifestyles are better for the environment and that suburbs are bastions of racial segregation.

Democrats in Virginia may override local zoning to bring high-density housing, including public housing, to every neighborhood statewide — whether residents want it or not.

Gov. Ralph Northam’s office says he will push for legislation creating a process to replace a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

“This is something the governor and his team have been working on for several months,” said a spokeswoman for Northam, Alena Yarmosky. “The governor’s office has already filed a bill-drafting request for legislation addressing this topic.”
