Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

While APD is a business, it is rooted in activities more closely associated with charities; it’s aims are to “revitalize communities” hardest hit by the economic recession in an effort to “jump start” housing activity.

Sounds like a good place to park money you want to loose.

Expect housing foreclosures to increase in frequency up till about 2013....opps, kind of puts a significant dent in that “socially responsible” housing....

“Socially responsible” is fiscally irresponsible. That’s what broke the bank in the first place.
