[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe there is federal money at stake. Block grants- anyone have more info on that? There is also new HUD rules regarding integrated housing.

There are long standing advocate groups ( mainly VOICE) Already mobilized along this part of the county. It makes it easier to grease the wheels and they don't face the opposition that they do on the north side. 
I don't think it's as shady as kickbacks and the like. It has more to do with the people helping to set the policy make their living in this arena- consulting or working directly for the big AH developers. It's hard to argue against them, because they will always claim the moral high ground. The same couple of guys on the 22204 listserve will basically call you racist if you raise any questions about these polices. 
To be fair- I do believe they believe their own bullshit.

I get why it matters to politicians, but why would it matter to the developers where the buildings are, if their money is free?[/quote]
