Strike that. The fag can't even throw a baseball. I bet he never did any home repairs.
This is all about making private property “unsustainable”. . .The government to condemn and confiscate “unhealthy and unsafe” property and relocate the masses into “sustainable” population centers. No joke. .that is the plan. . .and those that resist? . .hello FEMA camps.
seriously, FUBO
Does this mean that Obama is going to go after Valerie Jarrett’s slums, and fine her for not improving them?

Grim proving ground for Obama’s housing policy
CHICAGO - The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can’t afford to live anywhere else.
But it’s not safe to live here.
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.
Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing.
As a state senator, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee coauthored an Illinois law creating a new pool of tax credits for developers. As a US senator, he pressed for increased federal subsidies. And as a presidential candidate, he has campaigned on a promise to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund that could give developers an estimated $500 million a year.
But a Globe review found that thousands of apartments across Chicago that had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies - including several hundred in Obama’s former district - deteriorated so completely that they were no longer habitable.
Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obama’s close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama’s constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.
Yeah, I trust Obama to improve our housing.
FUBO
We’ve been trying to get the mold out of the US White House ever since 2009.
Hey a federal home inspector can check for tobacco, alcohol, drugs, guns and energy efficient appliances. Yep, nanny statism is wonderful. Thank you fellow FReepers that celebrated the elimination of private property rights with the celebrations of smoking bans in private establishments.
This is a jobs progam for useless lardass Federal workers.... Especially of the affirmative action persuasion since most of these “substandard” housing will be in black areas, barrios and other minority neighborhoods. So naturally the Federales ministering to them will also be minority with a few lesbians, gays and Indians and Aleutian Islanders thrown in for good measure. For these Federale jobs don’t both applying if you are a hetero white guy or a known conservative
The whole idea here is to take from private sector taxpayers (meaning whites and Asians) and fork over the cash to minorities ...after the Federales skim off the top 40% for administering this POS program
WHEN does this crappola end???!!
I recently bought a mold infested house...MY FAULT! MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX!
This is extra rich considering Obama’s closest, most trusted adviser was a Chicago slumlord
