who would of thunk that trash built out of recycled materials and crappy designs wouldn’t last?
But it made Brad “feel” better, and look more caring to others at the time, and that is all that matters is woke world!
A fool and his money......
Same old story, more dollars than sense......
(Notice I said class, not race.)
the same people who trash everywhere they live trashed these houses, what a surprise.
Apparently he has tried to completely distance himself from those homes and blame it all on the contractors.
At the end of the day, I’m not sure he’s wrong, but if he wants to do the right thing, he shouldn’t be running from this. He should be leading the charge against the contractors and project managers, etc. Asking for audits of records, etc.
Democrats gotta ruin everything.
I still remember a picture of that marxist clown Sean Penn in a boat by himself. Virtue signaling at its dumbest and finest.
I applaud the idea.
The builder of the one of the homes shown should come and fix the porch.
Nothing wrong with the concept, even flat roofs in NO. Just piss poor execution.
Sort of like Oprah’s ‘good intentions’ with her girls school in Africa that became riddled with scandal.
It’s Louisiana (my home state before I joined the military). It serves as the baseline from which all corruption is judged. It makes Massachutsetts, Illinois, and even California look like amateurs. Its coefficient of corruption is almost as awful as congress and the media.
No mention of any of the homeowners taking any responsibility and trying to fix things themselves. Brad didn’t know he was taking on hundreds of permanent dependents, but he does now.
Get out the checkbook, no good deed goes unpunished.
If I were to guess the cause of this problem:
1) Houses designed and built by environmental wackos who had no clue about how to build houses to withstand the challenges of the local environment.
2) Homeowners who did not have have any “skin in the game”, i.e. little on none of their own money, invested in these properties and did not maintain them.
I don’t think I would want my house to compost itself around me.
Brad may have had good intentions, but the effect was that he got all the drooling adulation and PR boost on the front end, but not many people have heard about these poor outcomes.
Its the pitts
Road to perdition.
a nonprofit that built houses with input from Frank Gehry ...

That spells trouble right there. Gehry’s designs are noting if not impractical.
