You have to Love this. SD Modern GOP Congressional Representatives have Never voted for any HUD authorization or programs in their lives. But, get a complaint from some of those good old boys from the Rural SD and by Golly we need to ACT Now. Hypocrisy at its finest.
yeah...not exactly how that happened. Having campaigned all over South Dakota and SEEING hundreds of government subsidized apartments.....some towns look to have MORE apartment units than they do houses...check out Volga, SD! But follow the money...WHO built these monstrosities? and they were built by cronies to the politicians who had NO RISK in building them. Favored builders got all the TIFs, all the variances, all the "look the other way" red tape that costs the normal contractors big bucks. Every town it seems has these government programed housing units. This is politicians playing favorites. And their favorite builders, consultants, investors, etc, were probably promised a steady flow of all the rent generated.....but now it looks like their conspired plan to make money off the Federal funds might be drying up. They don't care about the families...they never have....they only care about their cut in all the federal money that flows into SD and how they can divert it to themselves and their cronies.
No worries. Just sue HUD and let the courts decide what is appropriate for rural housing regulations. I'm sure SCOTUS has the special expertise that federal agencies clearly lack--provided the members of the Robert's court are appropriately rewarded with gifts following their ruling.

Why should we subside housing for farmers and ranchers? Ridiculous.
