The makers of your video had one thing right - the development is nice. Just about everything else is hyperbole or just plain wrong - take funding for instance:

The Hope VI grant awarded $35 million to tear down and rebuild Salishan in three phases. The entire project cost was $225 million. The Tacoma Housing Authority made up the difference with loans, bonds, grants and home sales from the first phase, when 119 private homes were built. It also forged partnerships with Habitat for Humanity and Korean Women’s Association, which built homes and apartments for seniors.

I see. All that is "free money" and doesn't need to be paid back,right?

Also,I know for a fact that if *I* wanted to sign an agreement with a contractor to build a first quality housing complex,the very first people I would contact would be Habitat for Humanity and the Korean Women's Association. No politics or graft involved there,right? Plus,who could be more experienced contractors than those two groups?

Once again the parasites are being given the keys to the public treasury.

You are so freaking dumb you don't even realize that Habitat for Humanity and the Korean Women's Association are corporations,and that they exist so that the Dim politically-connected leadership can skim public money.

Then again,you ARE a Dim for a reason.

Add another to the long line of your misconceptions. 'Your corporate sponsors' does not mean those corporations sponsor you. HFH is a non profit ORGANIZATION. I guess all those stockholders and investors your delusions say exist, will have to wait a long, long time for their dividends. Dummy

Loans and bonds do need to be paid back. Does that make the development paid for by Social Security as the video claims?

Part of the funding was supplied by home SALES.

...if *I* wanted to sign an agreement with a contractor to build a first quality housing complex,the very first people I would contact would be Habitat for Humanity and the Korean Women's Association. No politics or graft involved there,right?

Both Habitat for Humanity and the Korean Women's Association (started by the Korean wives of American servicemen) are private, well respected charities - how do you think they are involved in graft?

Turning an ugly, crime ridden slum into a beautiful award-winning community that includes people who work for a living and are able to pay their own rent or buy their own homes is a good thing for everyone involved don't you agree?

Yes,and no. The loans and bonds were PROBABLY backed by HUD,which no doubt gets the money from SS.

Also,you can bet your ass the people buying the housing will be minorities on SS of one form or another who are getting special prices because the government will be paying off a part of the contract price to the contractors.

Both Habitat for Humanity and the Korean Women's Association (started by the Korean wives of American servicemen) are private, well respected charities ...

Respected by fools who don't know any better.

- how do you think they are involved in graft?

The same way the others are. The contractors will hire consultants who are related to somebody and who will never show up,the construction materials will be bought from companies owned by the people running the program,and there WILL be cost overruns,padding,and maintenance contracts.

Turning an ugly, crime ridden slum into a beautiful award-winning community that includes people who work for a living and are able to pay their own rent or buy their own homes is a good thing for everyone involved don't you agree?

Absolutely! When and where is this going to happen?

Ahead of time, under budget and more environmentally friendly than anyone dared hope, the final phase of Salishan’s Hope VI public-housing construction is complete.

That's right. It's all ok with you as long as it is a leftie doing the stealing and scamming the taxpayers.

And then you have the gall to so I am making it up after excusing it!

And since there's hundreds of military charities, you'll agree they should be the first to go.

Hit a nerve,didn't I? Here you are in a act of despicable desperation comparing self-serving lying weasels like Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,and other leftist Icons with the US military,where the self-serving cowardice of the various Rev-Runds and other welfare Kings and Queens is rare.

BUT.....,any military charity that isn't ran by the military itself should be closely audited to make sure that no more than 10 percent (being generous,here) of what they take in goes to staff salary or expenses,and that any that exceed this level lose their tax-free status and can no longer call themselves a charity.
