This has been a very successful program nationwide, it has taken neighborhoods that were either on the brink, or completly wasted, and made them vibrant vital communities again. I took advantage of this program back in '93, as did a couple of other people on my block. With a solid core of home owners, we became organized into an association that drove out the crack houses and drug dealers, put a stop to running gunfights up and down the street, and lifted families that were in abysmal poverty up into becoming solid middle class citizens.
I used this opportunity to get into my first home, which in turn allowed me to move out to the country ten years later. I in turn took my old house, after having fixed it up over ten years, and sold it to a young couple just starting out, and they got a nice house for a reasonable price.
This is just insane. Take a program that is successful, and wipe it out all to put the money into the pockets of the already filthy rich. This is absolutely disgusting, especially at a time when affordable low cost housing is becoming increasingly scarce. Goddamn fucking idiot chimp:grr:
I'd better stop here, otherwise I'll rant all day. It just burns me no end that this fucking fool would scrap a program that is doing what other programs can't, reclaim blighted inner city neighborhoods, and turning them into prosperous, peaceful communities. These fools have no shame, nor sense.
