One of my black employees grew up in public housing in the South Bronx. He was thrilled to hear that Carson is now in charge of HUD! He told me all about the nightmares of living in the projects. No heat, no running water or toilets, there was even an incident where an 82 year old grandmother had to keep a bucket to go to the bathroom in because the super wouldn't fix her toilet. The city of New York did nothing except try to evict her and throw her in an institution and they killed her in the process.

Another incident, this 29 year old grandmother got thrown out of the window because she wouldn't loan her 15 year old daughter money for crack.

I could go on. I am just so glad He's in charge. He needs to clean things up and drain the swamp!

HUD is less about projects now and more about forcing high-density low-income section 8 housing into the suburbs. Recent HUD rules:

1. Landlords cannot use criminal background to determine whether to rent.

2. Section 8 subsidies go up a lot more for more expensive neighborhoods so that poor people can live in expensive neighborhoods.

3. If a county or city opposes a high-density low income housing project, HUD can overrule their zoning decisions and even votes and force them to put the ghetto-in-formation into their city and can fine them and appoint a federal “receiver” to oversee all their land use decisions.

4. Much more. HUD is a cesspool.

Think about what they are doing. As central cities gentrify, they have to put the poor people somewhere. So they want to punish the people in the suburbs. This is an enormous power play by property owners in central cities at the expense of property owners in the burbs.
