I suggest the state Senators and Boehner be contacted. Just like the madman Obama and his gang thinking they took care of the bankig industry by their tough regulatiions after the bailout. You now have a situation you have few qualified buyers who must have a 720 credit score, while Strickland, Sherrod Brown(what a waste), and others, tout their success and championing the poor.

 

This is a prime example. Federal money, borrowed from your children and grandchildren, wasted on these types of projects. Where's the outrage? For what its worth, checkout the Riverbend development. 3-4 houses built in about 5 years, right across from that jewel of a school called Miller Ridge, while the development went bust. Check out the daVinci house, empty for 5 years, that was on the market for $499,000, now down to $299,000, and overpriced by about $100,000. Check out Ionna's house that was $419,000 now down to the bargain price of $285,000, which would sell for maybe $210,000. Drive up and down Central Avenue. No, with the lower stock being built in the Renaissance, drive beside Hunter school and see the Warrent Cty development with lots on houses coming on board, less than .25 mile from Fenwick.

 

Cincinnati State isn't getting just the buildings downtown, they are getting a while city, a brownfield of waste and depression costs, as houses are 50% of where they were a decade ago or more. A bright past, a brighter future? Only for public servants, and city leadership, as this deal with Cincinnati State deal is going through. And they are getting a whole city for the land lock they have in Cincinnati, while you have a generation awaiting the sell of your home.

 

Agree the plug needs to be pulled on this wasteful program.
