      They can always do what la is doing, and what they did during covid...I'm sure eventually, Houghston will get theirs too. Keep in mind, be careful what you wish for, LA should be very closely observed as our new example of what's to come. Along with that is the sad truth about economy and social status, according to the sick minds of the ELITE. So, take note how EASY IT IS TO BECOME HOMELESS. TO THINKall those poor people, in a SHELTER, and they aren't even DRUG ADDICTS OR MENTALLY ILL ....yet....that usually comes along later, a common effect of.....being homeless, not the cause. So, just a reminder, the WORLD is being ELEVATED upgraded, to even low income and poverty stricken has a higher standard. But, at least all those wastes of space that will soon fill the air and lungs of us all, won't be an eyesore anymore. Man,what a disgrace.

    Don't worry everyone. We will all hear the city and county telling us that there's no money and they need taxes to be raised again and again. At this point taxes are no longer for services for the citizens but to fund lavish life styles of those who are supposed to help us.

If you went over that amount you had to pay the overage out of your own funds. It appears there was absolutely no oversight in the agencies credit card use.

    The $65 billion Department of Housing and Urban Development has been plagued by mismanagement and scandal in recent decades. Numerous HUD secretaries have used their power to enrich themselves or to confer special benefits on people with political and financial connections. This essay looks at HUD mismanagement during the tenures of four HUD secretaries under three recent presidents:
    Samuel Pierce, 1981-1989, Ronald Reagan's only HUD secretary
    Henry Cisneros, 1993-1997, Bill Clinton's first HUD secretary
    Andrew Cuomo, 1997-2001, Bill Clinton's second HUD secretary
    Alphonso Jackson, 2003-2009, George W. Bush's second HUD secretary
    A root cause of HUD scandals is that the department has a large number of costly subsidy programs, and each involves a tangled web of stakeholders. Many HUD programs divide responsibilities between federal, state, and local policymakers, and they involve private interests such as developers and financial companies. The multiplicity of interests and the complexity of the programs create opportunities for people in the public and private sectors to take personal advantage of programs.

      HUD and DOE need to go. People need to earn their way and take care of their own kids.
