I don’t have the problem with the person receiving the house. That part makes me angry in no way. It’s the giving away of the land to people who use it for profit. Tv show gives away a house in return for ratings which equals more dollars. We do pay taxes and our government uses it to give to the poor. So leave the religious stuff out before I laugh at u.

JJ
Not everyone is putting them down I am happy for them if they are deserving again I say let’s see them in action. They can take the trip and the house bit can they give as well? And I don’t mean their family that is love not giving back. Giving is a gift to a stranger or community project like their home and i asssure you there are plenty of givers working on that project. Do you think one of them would mow your lawn if you ask them to. If i could bet on it I would be no the answer might be yes but bet it would be winter and dead before they got around to an agenda of helping.

I’m sure glad we have this debate forum for ” Horrific”. Always got the right answers to everything, and everyone else is wrong. If ” you all” people make you so sick then why log on? But I will say I get a good laugh from time to time reading your right answers. Amazing

welfare makes people lazy and gives them a sense of entitlement! there is no entitlement, you either earn something or you do not. this is why this country has multi generational welfare families. they are raised in the system and see how it works and what you need to do to work it. this is just another example of working the system……..

Exactly but let’s give and build a 3000 plus SF house to 4 people, Why? That house will be large enough for 2 families.

OH and as for the stupid banks who wouldn’t let ppl stay in their homes
and give them time to get on their feet and keep their children in their
homes. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Stupid banks…..what do they think their going to do with a million + homes and growing on the market with ppl out of work.

I’ll tell you…..they get nothing….nada….zip!!!!!
Instead of working with that home owner.

I think the guy down the street is squatting in the home that was foreclosed
on him.
He may be renting it, but with his tract record I doubt it. I’d have to see the
\rent reciepts, but then I don’t think much of the guy so I may be a little jaded
in my thinking about him anyway….

But am I going to call on him. Heck no! WE bailed out the banks you and
me and I say he can stay…..

There is no one to buy the house anyway……..

To Dad on October ME TOO. Guess i’m not too optimistic but I bet it won’t be great. Wonder if they can sel this house or use it as collateral for a loan? I just don’t think it’s right to give luxuries that most ordinary everyday hard working families cannot afford. I understand the geo thermal units are extremely efficient couldn’t we all benefit by having one. Extremely costly to put one in. If you want to revitalize a community do something for the community as a whole. Who else in this area can afford to fix their homes so they are comprable to the newest mansion. You don’t revitalize by building a mansion in a neighborhood of poor people. It will breed jealousy and resentment.

This could be hashed night and day. The fact is you still have givers and takers and until I see those that get paying back I believe they are probably like every other taker in the world. Someone owes them something. As for a story I bet we could all submit one. I feel certain most of us know a sad story. Would love to see this paper do a story about people that have been given such generous gifts giving back to our community. That’s community not family. Go to a park, cemetary , school, nursing home, hospital, animal shelter and give back.

I was so hurt to read all the things that people had to say on here God never promised us anything on this earth would a bed of roses but people that are on here bashing everyone else maybe you need a job. Thats what is wrong with escambia county know they all want a hand out and if i can get on good if i dont good. But you people that are on here putting this person down will never be blessed because you dont know what blessed is when you pick you head up every day you are blessed. I lived in the best money can buy and know i dont but you think i have hard feelings about the people no i dont its life and i hope they enjoy it and if they dont give thanks for what has happen to them they will pay for if not you. I know alot of people that needs homes like this i have a member of my family that i think should have this happen for them but if god blesses them one day ok if he dont they are still happy people.
