everyone according to their needs ...???
Not bad all around except this economy is not generating a need for more building. We have an excess of rentals available right now in apt communities and house for rent. Flooding the market is going to lower occupancy rates in the existing supply. Not good for anyone.
These are going to be put into currently middle class areas and will turn them into war zones.
“...not everybody should have a home...
The same can be said for going to college.....”
...exactly!....not all cultures value education or home ownership....for instance, some cultures prefer $200 sneakers, gold chains or low riding vehicles.
exactly its acting stupidly economically...but obama doesnt care he just wants control and more serfs beholding to the govt...socialism...
“By damn, we’ll get these fools more dependent upon us somehow!”
Don’t forget gold teeth!
Zer0 wants to turn all of America into Chicago’s Cabrini Greens.
Cabrini green was housing the Chicago Way - liberals in Chicago thought it was "THE ANSWER" - and as most liberal answers - it became a horror. The one Obama wants to bring the rest of us to... "Public Housing" a la Cabrini Green... And then - with all 'bama's banker friends owning the "nice" homes - we'll have our Communist Party elite hosing too. This is endlessly charming.
He [Khrushchev] declared that all 250 million Soviet people should have their own separate (as opposed to communal) apartments. To achieve this goal in a short period of time, houses were built very quickly with cheap materials; zero attention, it seems, was directed to quality and aesthetics. These ugly five-story buildings - "Khrushchovkas", meaning "Khrushchev's home" in Soviet slang - are still standing in Baku today. Sometimes people call these houses "Khrushoba", a combination of the Russian "trushoba" (poor, dirty hole) and the surname Khrushchev.
This proposal is a federal version of rent control. We already have Section 8 housing in which private landlords receive subsidies to rent to low income individuals. Section 8 housing has many problems for landlords, tenants, and communities. Increased crime is a notable feature of Section 8 housing. If your neighborhood experiences unexpected new levels of crime, investigate the location of Section 8 housing.
This new proposed program just eliminates the private landlord so the government will be vastly increasing its local real estate holdings. I suspect government ownership will be worse than privately owned Section 8 housing. Besides the increased crime, lowered property values, and higher property taxes (federal government does not pay property taxes), this new approach will create an even stronger housing entitlement. If the housing has any desirable features, I expect tenants to establish defacto property rights, much like rent control in NYC. Tenants will never leave, claim other units through proxy ownership, and even lease their units at much higher rates.

Obama, the slumlord-in-chief!
Build 100,000 30-story pink apartment buildings across the plains of Texas and Kansas. Turn um into ghettos.
One mans floor is another mans ceiling.
Good Lord
If you think the view is bad ... the smell is even worse. People let their cats and dogs out into those hallways to do their business and NO ONE cleans it up.
Well, I know that they at least sweep for the crack vials and needles in NYC, but the smell of urine is still there (per cops who patrol the two local projects in my area).
Lovely
