All this work reflects a core 'Belief': that when you choose a home, you do not just choose a home. You choose a community and the choices available in that community – including how healthy and safe that community is. With President Obama’s leadership and this Environmental Justice strategy, we’re committing to working together with federal, state, and local partners to ensure that every neighborhood is vibrant and safe, and provides a healthy future for our children. [My future grandchildren and great-grandchildren just can't wait to pay for this!]
Is this satire? It should be!
I am sick up to here with “the poor”.
The “war on poverty” is a “quagmire”, and it’s time to pull out.
I want my money back.
Terrifying, isn’t ?
I honestly believe we’re on the edge of complete disaster. If it’s not this, it will be the next utopian misadventure.
God help us all.
Aside from my snarky remarks and overuse of italics, no, it’s not. The links work if you cut and paste them in your browser. (Why links don’t work in the post, I have no idea. I’m as clueless with a computer as Chairman Obama is with a capitalist economy.)
it recognizes that keeping our families healthy is not just about the quality of the homes themselves....They ought to worried about keeping the FAMILIES together, first. And they wrongly equate houses (tangible structures) with “homes” ( a strictly spiritual idea). Being a single loner, I own a $300,000 house, but I don’t have even a $5.00 “home”.
To put it into perspective:
The average non-pirate Somali survives on $600 a year. The poverty line in the US is in excess of $13,000 a year.
This is utter nonsense that can become real dangerous real fast.
It’s the poor quality drinking water that makes mister hand turn into mister fist, compelling these poor unfortunates to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon until they get tipsy and start fighting. If only they had clean drinking water, they’d be like Ozzie and Harriet.
You can never go home again.
Sounds like Mayor Villaraigosa’s State of the City message given a couple of days ago. But while everyone is looking at the cost of the bicycle paths, the dedicated bus roads, the subways and trains, what they fail to see is that this is designed to provide high-rise government sponsored housing.
Traditionally, here in Los Angeles, apartment buildings were limited to 2 stories. Not anymore. As I drive thru the city I see 4 and 6 story apartments going up. The zoning has changed so that many properties are allowed to build a second home on their12,000 sq ft lot. And as a recent WSJ news piece points out, California Declares War on Suburbia, April 12, 2012. The typical 4 houses per acre is giving way to transit villages with 30 houses per acre.
Another aspect of these new mega apartments is the senior housing. When we are told that there will be subsidized senior housing, who can argue with that, it is not limited to senior housing, the seniors are complaining that they are giving the housing to drug dealers and users.
Then there is the mayor of Lancaster, he was on our local newstalk radio telling us that preferential Section 8 housing is going to ex-cons. In many cases new 4 bedroom homes with a swimming pool, homes that the city took over when they were foreclosed on.
It is not the cost of the transportation, it is the denser cities we should be looking at.
I’m having difficulty parsing through all this. HUD has spent the last 20 years seeding the suburbs with section 8 apartments, effectively destabilizing those neighborhoods and emptying the city cores for re-development of the inner cities for the hipster DINK types. Now what? HUD is giving away the foreclosed homes in the suburbs to their client base? Or are they now re-building section 8 type apartment Projects style housing in their cities? What really puzzles me is that the HUD types only account for 15% of the population. Where the heck are they getting all these people from? This is just plain weird.
If the answer is, “Yes,” just read an American newspaper any day of the week.
Because Clinton's Executive Order 12892 (CRA) wasn't damaging enough.......

**** where we’ve reduced the number of children with lead poisoning by 75 percent over the last decade.****
In my 65 years, most of when lead was in everything, I have NEVER known anyone to have lead poisoning, except out of the barrel of a gun.
