There are too many elements distinct from the other aspects o the law. Consider housing a s distinct need, and protected right. Consider also the aspect of disability and accessibility compliance inherent in the Fair Housing Act that is totally distinct from the CRA.

There are also many aspects of fair housing that are not included in the Civil Rights Act of 1968, such as Section 504 disability issues, regulation of GSE's (Fannie, Freddie), state and local enforcement, nonprofits, age discrimination issues, testing issues, etc., etc.

The term "fair housing" itself is one that fair housing groups, both private and governmental, have long worked to make a household word. Consider that placing "fair housing" under the CRA would create a disconnect between the growing awareness of "fair housing" and these articles.

OPPOSE the merge idea; just link. Jon 20:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't Merge

I agree that "fair housing" is a term of art and cannot be encompassed within the Civil Rights Movement article. --/nbdy241 03:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Oppose Merger

Fair housing is a concept in non Unitd States legal codes and social thought and as such it would be inappropriate to merge it into a topic exclusively about a US law (or set of laws). --/decepticon 11:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
