Just another reason not to do anything except wait for the government to do something for you. When will the people in charge do away with this entitlement society we have created.

No civic grant would come in fix the roof of an individual that might not have home owners insurance. It is possible that a person in that state need to determine if food or insurance was the priority for that time frame. Why should government grants, and be allowed to repair sites such as this…and by the way….is the city picking up the tab for the satellite service. That seems new too from the picture.

how anyone can justify repairing these homes with tax-payers money. If my house is repaired, I pay for it. Sometimes the repairs are not made because my taxes must be paid. Please remember folks, there is no such thing as a free lunch—–someone is paying for it!

You guys commenting are a sad lot. Yeah it was too much money for what we have seen in the photos, but the photos aren’t everything. So what they have a dish?! You can get them for free online with $14.95 shipping and pay $19.95 a month for basic service!

I bet the owners are very happy and proud to get these repairs, and I bet ANY OF YOU would be too! But it is not YOU so you’re gonna sit on here slinging comments and belittling the whole thing.

Do you guys even know these people? Do you know their financial status? Do you know their medical needs? Do you know anything at all about how/why they got the improvements? I bet not…

Shame on all of you! Karma, learn it, it’ll come back around.

Wow how can they afford the satellite in the yard? Are they required to keep homeowners insurance on the homes? Does the government keep up the insurance? I have to pay over 2,500.00 a year for my home in Century. When they did the improvements did they put the clips on the roofs. It saves about 1,000 a year on insurance. I know in Florida it is very hard to get a insurance on a older home. I do think they could got more for their money. My family has been building homes for 40 years in Alabama I know they could have.

$32,000 just to do the insides and to put new windows with no painting of the house and I’m not blaming the president. I just can’t see it.

I voted for change, beats the alternative,

BUT……..this is crazy. I would be cheaper to build houses and give them away than renovate these houses.

Give the money to Habitat for Humanity, they’d build a hundred houses not just renovate eleven houses.

This makes me sick!!!!!! What’s really sad is if a hurricane comes through i will have to fight tooth and nail for any repairs that may need to be done to my home like many others. If these homes or any homes like it get damaged the government will pay no questions asked. So not only do i get up every morning and work hard to pay for my home, i have to pay for others to.WHERE ARE THESE RESIDENTS “FAIR SHARE” ? That our president and all the other Democrat’s speak of???????
