Is This The Answer to Austin's Low/No Income Housing Problem?

Julian Castro, Secretary of HUD, is rolling out a new HUD program nationwide that was tried in Dallas with disastrous results for the suburban neighborhoods. HUD will require all new developments to build affordable housing which HUD will then subsidize with super large vouchers to entice low/no income people from central cities to the suburbs.

Here is the money quote from an article in the New York Post:Link

"Although HUD’s “demonstration project” may have improved the lives of some who moved, it’s ended up harming the lives of many of their new neighbors. And now Castro wants to roll it out nationwide. Soon he will give Section 8 recipients money to afford rent wherever they choose and if they don’t want to move, he’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse".

Georgetown better be "on guard" or else we will become a dumping ground for those low/no income individuals escaping the high cost of housing in Austin.

Keep HUD out of Georgetown with all their mandates, rules and regulations so that the local citizens and their government guide the development of the city.
