Very interesting sources of money.

Some comments:

One of the reasons there is no so-called affordable housing in Moscow  
is that people in the rental business gobble up inexpensive houses  
sometimes even before they have a for sale sign in front of them-- 
certainly before anyone who may need such affordable housing can   
make an offer! Interesting that the very people who are complaining  
about "no affordable housing" are often the people who create the  
problem. Another Hoffman development, Windfall, was supposed to be  
low-cost housing. We'll see. Mark my words, the developers will be  
looking for Government money to build that "affordable housing".

I heard an ad for Walter Steed on AM 1400. If you really want kids  
and grandkids to stay in Moscow, have them go into housing  
construction, (housing construction and real estate are really the  
ONLY industry Moscow has attracted in 5 years), or dump truck  
driving, or real estate.

I also love it when the very people who "LOVE free enterprise" and  
hate "government interference and regulation" don't seem to mind  
government subsidy. Isn't that what an Urban Development District  
is?  Get government money  (our tax money) up front for a project,  
but then complain when the people try to have input (they call it  
anti-business). Gotta love the irony. I'm tired of people using tax  
money to take the risk out of their risky investments.

Anyone who says Moscow is anti-growth hasn't looked north south or east.
