it's a HUD/RAT thing.
Before Katrina the local paper was investigating the slum lords of the ninth. The majority of houses in the area were own by three corporations. Seem that Papa Landreau, who organized HUD under Carter was in the thick of it, teaching others how to get rich with government money. Charge high rent on bad housing.

Every time I see a clip of those destroyed houses in the ninth it makes want to cheer. Now the owners no longer are taking advantage of the poor and US.

Same MO was used by Val Jarrett, Rezko and BO’s minion in Chicago....as I said it's a RAT/HUD marriage.

Too bad Reagan was unable to sweep out all the roaches.
