Just that there will always be haters to every project, no matter how well-intentioned it is. 4 - I can get on board with trying to create some kind of incentive for banks/developers/governments to provide some kind of subsidy to fund affordable housing or rehabbing existing buildings but thats easier said than done.

@Joe Muchel if your property recently got put into a flood map: AE flood zone I would strongly recommend that you take advantage of the government subsidy that you can get when a property is moved from a flood zone X to an AE.

Columbia is blessed to have multiple colleges, military bases and government offices. 

If you think you can find an area where a city is that efficient you don’t understand government. 

I find federal government program names ironic. 

The individual property assessment data, tax record history, and tax bills are produced and kept by the 25 cities and towns"Like several other places in the NE, the county government is not in charge of collecting taxes, the cities and towns are.

The fact that the city is getting investors to spend money doesn't mean that the government has turned the corner, this is an example that it hasn't and it's bad omen for investors and the city.

The Section 8 program is a program where the Government pays some of the tenant's rent.

The listing agreement will govern if you can cancel your listing with this agent or not. 

If you just going to pay the houses, yes your cash flow will increase, but you'll have to pay taxes on it, which means some of that money is no longer going to work for you, but for the government.
