Kevin Williamson(National Review) advocated getting rid of HUD but keeping Section 8. I say keep the Sec. 8 bureaucracy and get rid of the rest. Ain’t gonna happen.
I say dump Section 8 and HUD, and replace them with reducing housing regulations and eliminating property taxes.
If regulations increase housing prices out of reach of poor, they’re worse than not having regulations. Better a roof with no insulation, than not having a roof at all because R36 insulation costs occupants too much.
If the poor can’t own land outright, they’re beholden to the state every day. Better to own 1000 sq ft of land permanently, than to be driven out because one can’t afford ever-rising taxes thereon - and then have to beg the state for housing vouchers.
Ain’t gonna happen.
But for God, it won't happen. But WITH God, ALL things are possible. Watch out. I think it's coming...
