A Doctor To Lead HUD?

[ucbruin]

I like it. I can see potential development in poverty stricken areas under his leadership like we have never seen. I like the man's character.

But to whose benefit?

But to whose benefit?

Everybody. Clean affordable housing redevelopment in ghetto areas would benefit everybody. I can see him leading a charge like that.

 

[Eli]

And commercial redevelopment in those areas too. I can see Carson being very capable with the right attitude. I like his attitude. It's all good in that appointment imho.

When one considers that the last 3 POTUS consisted of a womanizing used car salesman, a spoiled trust baby frat boy and a community organizer, I don't believe the republic is in any danger from an MD running HUD, in fact, considering his humble beginnings and accomplishments, he may be the ideal person for the position.

I hope so!

Geeus, give the guy a chance. Most appraisers get their nose out of joint when a realtor instantly pre-judges them. I imagine being the head of HUD and dealing with the career bureaucrats is like corralling cats and just as rewarding.

 

[Non Sequitur]

How is he any worse than the last few appointments?

 

[ucbruin]

I don't interpret anyone criticizing Carson....

Dodd Frank references appraiser independence and C and R . So repealing it could signal neither of those matter. But you are of the opinion repealing it won't affect appraisers, no arguing with a personal opinion.

What is "C & R" anyway? ..... Yeah, that's the problem. It is a concept that is nearly completely subjective.

I work for one client that displays its average fee range on its web portal. The average URAR fee in one county is $100 less than the adjacent county, and I'm talking about even if two similar properties were located 50 feet apart, but on opposite sides of the county border. C & R is a myth. AMCs determine C & R by systematically pitting the most desperate appraisers in the market against appraisers who have actually made a career out of fee appraisal.

When one considers that the last 4 POTUS consisted of an elitist frat boy...

Would that be the elitist who, on his 18th birthday, joined the military as an enlisted man, latter earned a commission and became a fighter pilot, and was shot down in the pacific by enemy (Japanese) gunfire after he accomplished his combat mission?

That sounds like an Ivy League stunt the frat house I joined (US Marines) would do.
