UN Investigator Probes US Housing Crisis

And a United Nations investigator has opened a probe into the US housing crisis. Raquel Rolnik, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, will investigate issues including public housing, homelessness and foreclosures. On Thursday, Rolnik held a public meeting with housing activists in New York.

UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing Raquel Rolnik: If we take housing as a human right, you have to go back to the idea that housing is a social issue before and more priority than housing as a commodity, as a financial asset.

As part of her inquiry Rolnik is expected to visit at least six other cities and towns, including Chicago, Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Save that picture. We’ll need it for the wanted poster after the upcoming revolution.

The purpose of a wanted poster is for identification purposes. This one is more appropriate:

Maybe they need to revisit Nairobi, fix it and leave us alone.

Hey, if you want to pad the expense account, you have to have 5 star eateries and hotels, not some goat (?) roasted on a stick by the side of the road.

If they can't settle for a conventional spelling of reporter, they aren't going for Mickey D's...

THAT’S the problem! They won’t sacrifice anything (like living in a tent or eating a *goat roasted on a stick by the side of the road*!) Not this pampered group.

All their research appears to be written reports without any practical experience.

Let them use their own $$$ to stay in 5 star hotels if they are so committed to improving the housing situation.

When I was little girl, /ahem there was couple running around putting signs, “GET US OUT OF THE UN.” And read your bible, NEW WORLD ORDER is coming.

Scared the hell out of me. Now I can’t help but look back and remember how serious they both were in warning everyone.

If Obama ends our sovereignty in december,(I say he will be stopped)the UN will be telling us how to raise our children and taking over all foreclosed houses to place foreigners in. The biggest they will take for themselves. Eventually their plan would be no one owns anything.

Remember the UK plan to bring in immigrants to create a different racial makeup? If Tony Blair thought that one up, it can happen here.

Who can rewrite the words to My City Was Gone, by The Pretenders.
