Only I can fix it

If he didn't win, the suburbs would be 'overrun'

“The Democrats never even mentioned the words LAW & ORDER at their National Convention. That's where they are coming from. If I don't win, America's Suburbs will be OVERRUN with Low Income Projects, Anarchists, Agitators, Looters and, of course, "Friendly Protesters".”

What happened

The claim referred to his administration's replacement of the Obama-era Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule with a narrower 'Preserving Neighborhood and Community Choice' policy. He lost the election, 306-232. On June 10, 2021 HUD restored the AFFH requirement through an interim final rule effective July 31, 2021, requiring grantees to certify they are addressing segregation and unequal housing access; the rule regulates local fair-housing planning, not the construction of housing projects in particular neighborhoods.
