REGARDING:
“DON’T HATE!!!!!!”

I’m fairly slow but I didn’t see any sign of hatred from the comments below.

Disagreeing with a policy is not the same as hating the beneficiaries of that policy. Maybe they DO hate, but I missed where anything says so. Reading hatred into their disagreement says more about you than about them.

Some seem to think just because Nixon got it started, it must be good.
Some seem to think just because President Obama is president, it must be bad.
Some seem to think it’s free money so should be spent as soon as possible.
Some think there were better ways to spend the free money.
Some just oppose waste altogether.
Some seem to think building them brand new homes would be better.

I think free expression is a good thing.

David for love and kindness

That house on Pond Street looks like some heritage that we need to preserve.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed something similar in his day.
Hope they don’t ruin it.

REGARDING:
“Once your TAX DOLLARS come out of your check it no longer belongs to YOU anyway it belongs to the GOVERNMENT and they will use it as THEY see fit.”

I thought we WERE our government. My bad.

What we have here is a matter of principle. Most government social programs go unnoticed. But this one is very local and visible. The bottom line is, that it never ceases to amaze me how generous the government is with other people’s money.

Glad to see someone getting good use out of my hard earned tax dollars. At least its spent local.
It seems to me it would be better to buy the owners a new mobile home to live in, instead of spending so much to rehab such an old home. The new ones are really nice.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

This sounds like it amounts to slavery and discrimination.
