fortunately, I was redistricted out of her district and am now in Ted Poe's.
Oh happy days!
IMHO, Romney played a shitty hand in a most excellent fashion.
No pandering and no acting like a fool.
As far as APV, this place was a typical government housing project that was in horrible condition, old and rundown, in need of being torn down and the land used for a better purpose. there was in fact some new government housing built that is update and modern with ammenities that you pay extra for in upsacale houses. Things like granite counter tops> I think the idea was spend a lot of money to make it a little better and maybe, just maybe, the residents would take a little pride in the freebie and take care of it better than some of the other places they typically destroy.
My realtor encouraged me to invest in some properties and he would help me turn them into section 8 housing. As a rental property, he felt I could get a better rate from section eight than in the normal rental market. To his credit, he was trying to get people to polace better properties that exceeded the minimum requirements.
