First off the HUD inspection system was a giant junk pile anyhow. This is one example of its dysfunction and uselessness straight from the article.
Federal law requires subsidized housing to be inspected at least once every three years.
Once every three years?? Are they kidding?? It does not take long for mold, bacterial problems, CO problems, etc., to cause serious illnesses and death so how many people died between those three year inspections??
This quote just solidifies what I just stated and even they state it.
Without trained staff to review or enforce inspection results, problems like mold, pests, and lead paint exposure may go unchecked.
Let’s add one more scare tactic to that with the mention of lead paint which was banned in 1978. This is subsidized housing which means it could very well be Joey’s Investment Company doing Lipstick On A Pig renovations so they can rent out an old house to anyone including HUD subsidized residents. So where the hell are the local, County, and State AHJ’s that are suppose to be permitting and inspecting renovation work? Many also have various Codes and standards for rental units along with inspections of them. What happened to their inspections??
There’s concern that HUD may not have the capacity to ensure that they’re following their statutory requirements,
HUD never had the capacity in the first place so what! They never completed their mission(s) and that was just wasted money anyhow!!
HUD has not clarified how it will maintain inspection schedules moving forward. A short 28-day window remains for pre-scheduled contractor inspections, but it’s unclear how those will be managed without agency oversight.
Well how about putting the onus where it belongs anyhow? That would be on the financial institutions that back the renovations, purchases of potential HUD housing units, etc. If they don’t do their job to protect the financial institutions investment (via loans, etc.) then the investment fails and the cost of that is put right back on all of us in one form or another!
With no internal team in place and mounting safety concerns, HUD may face growing pressure to explain how it plans to uphold the health and safety standards required by law.
More bullshit! How many States out there do not have some for of Health And Safety function? How many counties and local governments don’t have these functions? I would expect there are not that many States if any that do not have these functions either at the State, County, or local levels. I know here in Texas they do and even have minimum habitability standards that must be followed for rental properties. So let the function move back to the States and local governments where it can be much better controlled! Oh Gee Whiz isn’t that what Trump is trying to do anyhow that is turning back control and power to the States that can better manage their specific needs?? Of course that was a rhetorical question.
I’m not surprised the reporter did not speak of these other avenues to handle the inspections of these units many which do anyhow. Even my little town here in BF Texas has requirements and inspections for rental housing!
Yes, he is all about state control and state’s rights. 
orange man baaaad,
Total TDS on display!
Something’s on display, that’s for sure.
Hopefully Trump et al will shut down/completely de-fund many other useless government offices, functions, and scam programs. That money can go back to paying off the national debt. They have started a good trend so far!
Are we tired of all the winning yet??
They have spent a lot of our money trying to get employees back that they mistakenly fired under the failed doge ordeal. Many of those employees got a 7+ month paid vacation. Do you even follow the news? It doesn’t seem like it with many of your posts.
BWAHHHHHH Good one Ryan. Keep up on the propaganda!
In my opinion, the two are mutually exclusive. Manny advocates for a smaller government. You criticize the process.
Elon Musk has an operational philosophy that the lovers of government and bureaucracy will never embrace. He does not wait for a 5-year multi-million dollar study and a committee to fire three people.
These aggressive tactics lead people to the absurd conclusion that Trump and Musk are incompetent. Criticisms that generally originate from progressive billionaire elitists, people who do nothing other than benefit from taxpayers and government bloat, and their TDS-inflicted supporters.
I think the Trump administration could do a better job of communicating its goals and processes. Simply, the word “cut” does not “cut it.” Trump has failed to understand the progressives’ intense love for bloated “virtuous” government programs. Or he doesn’t care what they think because they are wrong. Either way, it has enraged some very emotional people.
Anyway, here is an elementary look at Elon’s operational philosophy.
It is interesting to think some property inspectors would think property inspections are bloated government waste. To each their own I guess.
Some inspectors might think that the federal government has no business providing or subsidizing housing at all. It is a prime example of a virtuous program.
Same with food, some believe.
If you think the federal government should be in the food distribution business then more power to you. If it makes you feel more virtuous to take from one (by force with the threat of loss of property or liberty by gunpoint) and give to another whom you have deemed more deserving, then more power to you. For that is exactly what is happening.
However, there is somewhat of a consensus among Americans that some compulsory charity is acceptable. We are just arguing to what degree or impact this should have on the taxpayer and who the administrators are.
Many believe the federal government is the wrong administrator due to incompetence and scale. If anyone would bother to listen to Elon or if someone took the time to explain it, more would be onboard. But because of TDS, no one listens or cares.
You are conflating government run inspections/Inspectors with privately run inspections/Inspectors in an attempt to support your distorted view of a bloated government. Of course that is what the Loony Left does when they have no solutions to any problems of which bloated government is a problem.
I am actually one of those Inspectors that has that belief. Money is fungible with regards to Federal subsidies. There is not a single State out there that does not happily hold out their hands for Federal welfare funds and then shift State Taxpayer dollars to other projects many of which are wasteful.
All welfare/public assistance programs were created to temporarily assist those that have experienced an event, through no fault of their own, that places them in a temporary economic hardship. They are also there to help those who no fault of their own are not in a temporary hardship and need assistance to survive. The States do little to nothing to properly monitor any of these programs to ensure those with “temporary economic hardships” do what they need to to get off of the programs.
Trump is attempting to return control to the States on everything the Federal Government can. This too is one of those areas that should fall under that effort. Let the States worry about their own welfare needs for the “temporary economic hardships” as they control the underlying causes in many ways. I see no issue with programs designed to help those without a temporary economic hardship which I truly suspect are the very low minority of cases.
If a State wants to be known as a “Welfare State” let them and their taxpayers pay for that. The voters in that State will handle the welfare issues at the ballot box when their taxes and lack of services are hurt by the unnecessary handing out of money to those who can work to pay their bills and instead choose not to.
This second post by you is an excellent summary.
Priorities! He has a lot more on his plate to deal with, then the feelings of a bunch of whiney ass cry babies (Libtards) moaning about their issue of the day!
It’s true. Because we believe the outcomes are better when the needy have reliable shelter, food, and healthcare. It’s generally considered a way we improve society for all.
A family of four who suffers job and shelter loss as a result of say, a medical condition and overwhelming medical bills. Are outcomes better if they live on the street, live in a homeless shelter, or live in a subsidized apartment or house? Which option gives the kids the best chance? Which one costs us the least in the long run?
Are you asking me or telling me?
