NGV Fight Club Results: The Impact of HUD on Inner Cities

It came may come as a shock, but the time for this week’s question has concluded. Inauguration Day has not even occurred and yet there seems to be a continual flow of drama. The Republicans in the House and Senate have begun the process of disassembling the Affordable Care Act. There have been allegations of fake news, following the Buzzfeed’s publication of unsubstantiated claims on the president-elect. Even the confirmation hearings for Jeff Sessions and Rex Tillerson have begun this week in the Senate. Feel free to post question ideas on our Facebook page!

This week’s question had asked our users their thoughts concerning the impact of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on inner cities, during the tenure of Dr. Ben Carson. The most outstanding response that was not really in favor of either a positive or a negative impact, comes from shockwave.

shockwave says:
“The only way HUD will have a positive impact is if local community leaders work with HUD efforts and staff to act towards positive impact. It goes beyond a financial issue. Consider all the issues our country has had with law enforcement, especially in areas where HUD efforts are. Or consider the job market and transportation needs to get people to meaningful work. And consider the level of change that individuals that need assistance are willing to make in their own lives. The interconnectedness of change goes way beyond HUD efforts alone. It will come down to local support in our inner cities to see a combined positive impact.”
Wonderfully crafted opinion, shockwave!
