ObamaJarrett hates “the suburbs” and will implement policies to destroy them and drive out people who like to live there.

“This is nuts,” says landlord Tony Rossi, president of Chicago-based RMK Management Corp., who describes himself as a liberal Democrat. “In a situation where you’re dealing with a low-income person, do they really need a 25th-floor apartment with a lake view”

...where’s your tolerance and diversity you “liberal democrat” you? “Do they really need” is the mantra of these idiots. How does he know what “they need”? They played by your rules. So go pound sand Tony!

Chicago Housing Authority? Hmmm. Wasn’t a certain evil, corrupt advisor to the Pres_ent the Chairman of the CHA at one point? One might suspect she was attracted to huge opportunities for graft in directing vast sums of taxpayer money to open-handed political donors who just happened to have ownership interests in such swank digs. But that would be too cynical, wouldn’t it?

Ah. Yes. Your typical NIMBY DemocRAT. A NIMBYRAT.

He's the landlord. He gets the money either way. What difference does it make to him who the beneficiary is?

Unless he has a problem with certain poor people. Ahem.

As one of my vendors in New York told me, the winos and derelicts always manage to stay at the best addresses, even if it is by a steam grate.

Exactly my thought too. Liberals tell us to be compassionate for the poor and all that.

Where in the sam hill does he get off, saying what the poor “need” like that? Who the heck does he think he is????

Maybe it's the renovation costs once the "beneficiary" moves out? Maybe it's the complaints from other tenants about the noise and filth that the "beneficiaries" bring with them? Maybe it's the loss of rental income when other tenants move out?

In addition to following the money, I’d follow the relationships of the people getting these luxury grants to those processing them. There’s got to be some serious favoritism going on, as well as gross waste and incompetence. In other words, when there’s money to be wasted, there’s usually influence involved in the manner and the selection of people on whom it’s wasted.

I have an elderly friend who was hounded by some government agency to sell her house. She did a little investigating and found that a number of her neighbors had also gotten harassing calls to sell their houses.

The intent was to get these old people out of their houses and put in welfare recipients using vouchers.

This was an upper middle class neighborhood.

Well, the 0bama Administration did say they were going to change every ZIP code in the country to even the score, er, I mean "promote diversity". Did the rich denizens of $hitcago think they were going to be exempt?
