Ok, his bona fides are that he grew up in the projects? This dude has no construction experience, he’s a hoity toity surgeon for God’s sake.
Jack Kemp was HUD Secretary with zero construction experience. He was a congressman and retired NFL quarterback.
I seem to recall that Carson was interested in running the Executive branch.
So your argument is that unqualified people have held the position before?
HUD is not in the construction business.
HUD is not in the construction business.
We don’t need to be constructing more public housing, we need to get people off the dole and into apartments or other cheap housing they can pay for.
He’s a Trump loyalist who checks the “black” box as a member of the cabinet.
And he won’t be out constructing anything. Trump may well have some good underlings to send his way if he really wants to shake up the agency.
I am glad that Ben is taking the post.
Au contraire mon frere, “housing” “development”.....
What is your characterization of the point of the agency?
So you voted for Hillary? She had lots of government experience. Much more than Trump.
ROFL!!!
I’ve revived no such tweet,
“Housing and Urban Development” has nothing to do with actual construction. Mostly, their mission (subject to creep, which has gotten us to where we now are) is to provide “safe, sound and sanitary” housing for the persons who cannot provide for the planning and development necessary in their lives to become highly productive citizens, and undertake the burden of actual home ownership. It is a mindset that has been encouraged and even forced in urban regions, contributing to the rot and corruption of municipalities, and general decline of neighborhoods most affected by this source of largesse.
Dr Carson’s mission would be to educate and encourage the reversal of this trend, showing people they CAN leave the projects and find a true upward trajectory in life.
Lefties won’t be happy

eff no, I wouldn’t vote for that jackass, she was unqualified. Trump was far more qualified, he had actually held a real job in business, knows how to make a dollar. Don’t be daft.
It’s an executive position. Certainly someone with a doctorate can handle that.
Having grown up in the failed projects, he already knows from experience what doesn’t work.
It’s a corrupt agency, from what I’ve seen,seemingly a way for poorly-maintained properties to be supported by the Feds with rules favoring their total decline while the owner gets paid as long as he dances to the Federal tune.
Carson is honest. That in itself may go a long ways. The people living in HUD housing in rural areas, from what I’ve observed, are vulnerable, unprepared for the most part to take responsibility. Carson may or may not be capable of turning the Agency around. Good staff will help a lot.
So HUD is now in the role of psychologist/social worker?
Well, that’s it. Trump is showing his true colors now as a racist/misogynist. No blacks and no women appointees. Wait a minute...
He’s a good person, but he is too peaceable.
