The New Jersey legislature is pushing a bill that "would establish a temporary agency, the New Jersey Foreclosure Relief Corp.," which "would acquire houses in foreclosure and make them available to towns, non-profit groups, or private investors as low- and moderate-income housing." The corporation would be similar to the RTC, which helped clean up the mess left behind by the savings and loans crisis; and this proposal has the backing of the "state League of Municipalities, the New Jersey Builders Association, the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey, the New Jersey Bankers Association, and other groups not often found lined up together." Sounds good. What's the problem? There isn't one... but according to this lovely ad from Dave & Chuck Kochs' Americans for Prosperity, this bill will FORCE DRUG ADDICTS, EX-CONS, SEX OFFENDERS AND HOMELESS MONSTERS INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, TO KILL YOU.
<i>&quot;DRUG ADDICTS, EX-CONS, SEX OFFENDERS AND HOMELESS MONSTERS&quot;</i>
Paradoxically, I live <i>with</i> someone who matches that description now. And by &quot;with&quot; I mean &quot;me&quot;.
There&#039;s gonna be a lot of people being told to get off a lot of lawns.
And yet those same people could buy one of those houses. We need to add protective covenants to the deeds of all houses so only the &quot;right&quot; people are allowed to buy.
FSM forbid those with special needs have those needs <em>met</em>. Much safer to have them sleeping under a bridge with untreated psychopathy and growing resentment at society. What could possibly go wrong?
Man, I want this as a bumper sticker.
