Why do they want to build low-income housing in Sunnyvale, Texas?

The housing authority accuses Sunnyvale of being racist against minorities because they do not provide low income or multi-unit housing. Seems to me that the housing authority is implying that only minorities use low income housing and are incapable of mortgaging a home. Unless the town of Sunnyvale has a rule not allowing minorities to move there, or takes actions to make minorities who do live there uncomfortable than there is nothing racist about it. It just bugs me.. why do they want to ruin a nice town? And Sunnyvale is a small town, too, with large lots and low density housing. They aren't discriminating against anyone because of race! And if they did build multi-unit housing there, the DART line is nowhere close to Sunnyvale, and there is no industry there for these people to get jobs. What a joke! My family is buying a house in Sunnyvale, cause we can afford it. If we couldn't afford to move there we'd just go someplace else! And we are minorities, contradicting what the housing people think. Its not like there isn't low-income housing in other places. Sunnyvale is like 88% white, but its a growing town with lots of new homes.. so that number will probably change by next year. But I guess the poor people don't want to go to bad towns so are just trying to leech into good towns which are good cause there's none or a lot of low income housing. Just cuz they didnt do well in school doesn't mean they have to ruin it for the people who did (or people who had parents that did, like moi) there's low crime rates in sunnyvale too. imagine if we got low-income houses? that would definitely change.

1. Liberals will do all they can to help the poor as long as it not in their city
2. Sunnyvale is not alone. The liberals are suing towns all over CA for this too. They are targeting the nice rstowns, where people move to be away from the gangs, drugs, etc that come with low income housing. These people will all be supported by your tax money, they will not need jobs.
3. The people who run those charitable and low income programs are watching out for their own jobs. Once they succeed in one area, they need to find somewhere else or they will be out of jobs.
