Turning Foreclosed Homes into "Affordable Housing"

[Oddball]

This isn't the federal government.

Yeah...It's Clemenza and Tessio, rather than Don Vito himself.

I'm soooo relieved.

Someone's lying and you don't give a shit? But of course! What's a little lie in pursuit of your ideology?

Foolhardiness at the state level is foolhardiness nonetheless.

Rather than fucking up perfectly good neighborhoods by moving scads of Section 8s into them, why don't the NJ socialist Utopians start by fixing Camden?

Eh, Tom - did you actually read the article or are you just blabbering?

The neighborhoods aren't "perfectly good". They are filled with foreclosed homes with no buyers as the banks holds them.

And the potential residents aren't "scads of section 8s". Try again, bringing some facts from the reality-based community next time.

Then let the banks liquidate them to qualified buyers, rather than the state bailing them out and moving in even more people who can't afford them.

Y'ever hear what doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting a different result, is known as?

 

[8537]

You really didn't read the article, did ya?

Then let the banks liquidate them to qualified buyers,

you act as if the bank isn't trying that, Tom.

rather than the state bailing them out

Bailing them out? They are buying homes, not bailing people out.

and moving in even more people who can't afford them.

How did you determine this?

 

[Oddball]

If the banks aren't selling them at a low enough price to draw qualified buyers, that's neither my problem nor that of the NJ taxpayer....Now, they want the state to act as real estate brokers and management agencies....It's a defacto bailout.

Like I said, if the state is such a great builder of better cities and neighborhoods, let them start with Camden before they move on to fucking up the rest of the state.

Actually, it IS the problem of the taxpayer of NJ.

Like I said, if the state is such a great builder of better cities and neighborhoods, let them start with Camden before they move on to fucking up the rest of the state.

I repeat: you didn't read the article, did ya Tom?

 

[Oddball]

Yes, I read it...A bailout by any other name.

TANSTAAFL.
