So this new HUD thing DT is hinting at doing.... what can it be?

[bettyellen]

Making people work for free to help pay for subsidies?
Privatizing housing? Somehow I have a feeling the emphasis will be on "development " so maybe some sweetheart construction deals?

Anyone noticed any RW plans out there that would for in with this shit.

2. He mentioned HUD isn't just about "housing."

That other part - urban development.

Lots of opportunity in real estate, political connection and 'gentrification.'

Lots of "opportunity."

7. Interesting! Am torn beteeen thinking there will be some punitive action toward benefit recipients..

and the idea that he's going to pull some real estate/ building scams. Urban development could be for the benefit of only the wealthy I guess.

3. I don't know but I'm interested in any HUD

changes that the rw assholes would be tearing apart.

My HUD guy whom I talked to last month wasn't optimistic about what will happen.

Thank you, bettyellen

4. HUD's mission is basically sustainable, affordable housing... but

remember the HUD scandal involving the Reagan administration when his political appointees were using HUD funding to acquire mansion-like homes for themselves and their relatives? I do.

You can rad about here under Samuel Pierce.

5. Yes, I remember that.

I remember the endless Senate and House investigations (Democratic control then) of the Reagan administration (the most corrupt of all time up to now).
