Holy shit, he really is going to spread the welath around.
Starting by giving your neighbor's house to a bunch of welfare rats. Marx himself couldn't have come up with a better plan. |

Rentals dont help single family home prices, actually they tend to do the opposite.

I don't have a problem with this so long as it is done at market rates (ha ha, I know). If the government owns the property, and cannot sell it, then renting is a good way to ensure that the asset is not wasted. Lots of private owners are doing this as well.

Buy the foreclosed properties with all that money that the government has to spare these days? What a fucking terrible idea this is. |

Let's see...my neighbor lost his job thanks to Obama. That resulted in him losing his house. Again, thanks, Obama. Now Obama wants to rent out that house, probably for a ridiculously low amount to a welfare rat.
Gee, I can't wait for my property value to plummet. Thanks, Obama.

Not surprised.
This is exactly what Chavez did a few years after taking over the country. Google it. Now he has an almost bulletproof voting base. Even those that know better, and that are living in shit, would/still vote for him because of the free home they received. And the more I think about it, the more I see the genius of it: On one hand, this almost guarantees more disorder and violence in the future (lets see what happens when you mix honest, no bullshit taking citizens with Section 8 retreads), which will "force" the government to act to "preserve the peace" and pass more onerous, draconian laws. On the other hand... well, no, this wouldn't be a repeat of "white flight". In the past, a lot of people moved to the suburbs, away from the city centers. Over the last 10 years, it's been the reverse. Now... there really wouldn't be any "safe haven", so to speak. Yup, this a bucketful of fuck with dick sprinkles all over it. Enjoy. |

I can actually see my redneck neighbor across the street trashing these homes to make them unrentable, just to keep shitheads out.
He lives between two foreclosed homes. He's already pissed because the mortgage company only mows them about once a month and they do such a shitty job, it looks like a cut hay field when they are done. |

Once they move in, you'll never get them out.
They will never work again and we will be fixing their houses for them. Private landlords will never be able to compete with taxpayer-funded rivals. Look for another avalanche of foreclosures as homeowners decided to bail and take the easy route - and stay in their own home. Yeah. I don't see any problems with this idea.

Actually this is my idea for Social Security Buyout.
For every 10 years you've paid in, you're given 50k towards a Gov owned (forclosed) home. Might suck in California where you're 2 bedroom 1 bath starter runs $250k, but hey. In exchange for your home, you're still paying your soc security just like a tax, and you get drastically reduced (25% stipend) at the end. Younger tax payers get the chance to start with a house rather than living in an apartment, or older homeowners look at their vacation property, or persons can use it for a rental or what have you. Problem is solved. So to recap: Every 10 years, 50kworth of Foreclosed home. You have 40 years in, cash it out, thats 200k lumpsum vacation home, but you're only getting your $200 from Uncle Sam when you retire. Foreclosed homes issues are solved. Home ownership gets righted. What persons do with these funds, who cares. It's their government paid reimbursement for the last 10 years of social security payment. Yes I am fully aware that max annual contribution is just about $11K, so based upon total payin, some one working a 40k a year job would intially make out quite well on the deal, BUT you do not have continual year after year payment of which the average according to the SSA is $14k a year. $5K a year foreclosure value + $2400 stipend = $7400 a year < $14k a year current average benefit. You don't want your buyout? |

Straight up trade: Their ss indebtedness to me for real estate. Dang beat by a minute. |
