As much as Doug Atkins blusters on and on about his headline-making plans and programs, he, too, is a big part of the city's problem.  Look at how cavalierly he wasted millions of NSP funds just because HUD said it was acceptable.  And then there's the re-allocation of other HUD funds for downtown pet projects.  Additionally, he's demolishing everything in sight with no viable plan to revitalize these Ward 2 and 1 (part) neighborhoods.  Now, he's utilizing his stellar legal training to take on HUD regarding the excessive number of S8 units in town.  He surely must have strained shoulders from patting himself on the back so often.

At some point when the countries credit with china ends a lot of freebies will have to end. Just read some where that Ohio will be decreasing families food stamps by 50.00 a month starting in January and they waited until after the election to announce it (imagine that) We will look like the riots in Greece when the government stops hading out freebies and has to reign in spending Iam afraid its a race to the bottom.

 

I've decided not to participate in the S8 program any longer at the end of this year.  While I only have a couple of rentals, I felt it best to do my part to get out of this wasteful HUD bureaucracy.  While my rents will drop somewhat, I can manage.  I am blessed with decent tenants.

 

Our once proud country missed a wonderful opportunity to curtail the spread of government handouts when Hussein Obama was sadly re-elected.
