Bvos is 100% wrong and so are you; I don't care if one of you is head of the Detroit Housing Commission.

Since we're name-dropping I know HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan from past business, and I know many of his deputies at HUD.

If you seriously, honestly, think that HUD's mandate is to destroy public housing, then be my guest, I guess. Scary if this is what folks at Detroit Housing Commission think.

HUD's mandate is to preserve and expand public housing opportunities. They ONLY endorse the destruction of existing housing investments when there is a plan in place for affordable units.

These affordable housing units can be Section 8 units, they can be tax credit housing, they can be traditional public housing units.

But again, HUD is not in the business of affordable housing destruction. They are in the business of affordable housing preservation.
