Who would be a good choice for HUD?

1. This is where I work. I personally love Bruce Katz from the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy

at the Brookings Institute. He knows HUD policies in and out and is one of the foremost, qualified and brilliant innovators of urban policy. It helps that he actually cares deeply about HUD and wants a stronger role for the agency. I like that he's both a progressive liberal and is also pragmatic! ;)

7. d, he must already be a crook because hud is a criminal enterprise, according

to catherine austin fitts anyway (and i suspect she's right)

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. No, just its political leaders, not the career personnel like me who actually care about the agency

...and its mission.

15. Roberta Actenburg

Deputy under Clinton and openly gay so we would have one openly gay cabinet member.

17. Cory Booker

Mayor of Newark, NJ.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. I'm hearing Antonia Villaragoisa as well. Or, Shirley Franklin, mayor of Atlanta

Cory Booker would also be great. He has turned Newark around for the better...

[ruggerson]
