Wow, a left wing rag mentioned the word "Christmas"

If you notice in the comments highlighted in blue, one executive said that NO capital funds were provided and the other said there were CUTS in capital projects.  I wish they would get their stories straight.

One thing for sure they never thanked President Bush, the Secretary of HUD and the Republican Congress for appropriating  the necessary federal funds to provide much-needed capital projects for their infrastructures.

Do we really need a Department of Housing and Urban Development?  Talk about huge appropriations.  And I don't see that federally-subsidized housing is a constitutional right.  One thing for sure, the federal section 8 program raises housing costs in the inner cities and those who make a little bit more and don't qualify can not afford the high rents in the area.

public housing is a blue state boondoggle. It should all be sold off to the highest bidder. The unconstitutional HUD department are the freaks and idiots who were led by Andy Cuomo, and sued Smith and Wessons. By aboloshing public housing we can thereby abolish HUD and make sure even in the next Dem administration it can not be filled with some leftist idiot.

End income redistribution.

Don't get me started on the Section 8 Program, which has turned nice private apartment communities into little Newarks and Patersons.

Like every other handout program it doesn't appear that the program is run properly. After the buildings are renevated they look the same if not worse in a few years.

It would be interesting to see who is on the list and how these people who will occupy the buildings are chosen. The ideal screening process should be a background check, they addicts, ever been convicted of a felony, do they have a j.o.b and do they actually go to work.

Do we really need a republican party (democrat lite)?
