I have rarely seen logic prevail when dealing with city governments.

There are ways to be legal and not make an enemy of the local authorities and/or government.

China real estate market defidently is slowing down, it was going u too fast so 5yrs ago our federal government forced all tier 1-2-3 cities in China with purchase restrictions (maximum 3 residential property allowed to own per HOUSEHOLD), now 5yrs later when it's actually slowing down, they lose the restriction again to tier 1 city only and release the restriction on tier 2-3 cities, which is stupid cos nobody is buying anyway. 

On top of that the government offers grants for low income people so you may be able to go for free.

Yet he fails to mention (or say thank you) that government subsidies on wheat and dairy products are saving him over $1 per pizza.I guess some people just like to focus on the negative and ignore the positive.

He is now a Government Minister, but that is a different story.

He has looked into some government programs for his Fannie Mae loan which is held by Wells Fargo (or so I understand), but he does not seem to qualify for anything.

Right or wrong, our society is not just going to cut those people off.There will always be people out there who choose not to work and would rather just have a handout, and our government will always be there to provide it to them.So, if I were you, I would sleep soundly at night knowing that your Section 8 payments are safe.Just my two cents.

For instance, I mentioned the government and their attitude toward moving a city forward.

IMO, this is a stretch of the use of the term as it generally applies to government loans.
