SCREENSHOT: SEVEN:THIRTY - Wake to Washington. [reply to this to tell us how many people you know who've had ~food poisoning~ recently (for this editor: 5)] WHAT TO KNOW They don't even go here... Thousands of National Guard troops will move from hotels into longer-term housing. The price tag? $292M—reportedly cheaper than the alternative, but we gotta ask: Who would be living in these apartments otherwise?! To put this in perspective, last year DC spent around $100M to build and preserve affordable housing for DC residents. * While Minnesota has recalled their contingent, troops from 20+ states still remain on our streets. Here’s how to tell who’s who—and how to push back on the waste of tax dollars.

    @Geri Why don't those pesky tenants just get fired for dodging tax on their ~£1M second home and net themselves a nice £17k payout before getting rehired less than a year later when their boss changes the colour of his shirt?

        Q. would a state-owned housing developer be the answer to the UK's crisis in housing & specifically the need to build more social housing?

        Interestingly, the funding of such a project *should* be covered by Rachel Reeves' new fiscal rules which allow for special treatment of public debt taken on for social investment...

        As always the devil would be in the detili, but its by no means a stupid idea. Might Andy Burnham leap on this?

          “It's very profound when you can move a bunch of men that have been chronically homeless for quite some time and get them into really nice affordable housing, a place that they can call their own…”

            How about we solve the homeless problem and housing crisis first?

            The warmongers spent eight trillion dollars to drop bombs on weddings, fatten defense contractors, and provide medical care for maimed soldiers ... but building homes for the homeless and poor would be evil socialism and we can't have that. In effect what is being implied is that we can't build homes for the poor, but we should instead use that money to bomb foreign nations for so-called democracy.

            The money spent on military conquest could have built 80 million houses and provided millions of good, temporary jobs in construction.

            In fact the money spent on the conquests in Iraq and Afghanistan could have made a quarter of Americans home owners.

            The so-called government of this country HATES the people. And it shows. They are thieving, murdering liars and thugs full of active and chronic hatred and malice toward the people. We live in another Catholic-styled dark age, where the tax collectors and creditors rob the people and use the money to sniff out heretics.

            I realize it is too much to ask. I realize you will all waste your energy whining about crap that doesn't matter, like entitlement programs and imaginary racism, instead of doing the things that actually build people up, like giving them a roof over their head free of the encumbrance of debt.

            The government forces a fragmentation economy on the people that forces millions to move away from their families and home towns just to find work and housing, then calls it 'socialism' to build houses for the people they have intentionally uprooted. Sick. Just sick and evil.
