Give 'em a free house?


Muskegon wants free houses : "The NIC's mission ties in with ongoing efforts by the city of Muskegon to offer quality homes to first-time purchasers, and also in an ongoing program to rezone most of the older central city back to single-family zoning. For years, widespread multi-family zoning has encouraged the business of buying up large older homes and carving them into rental apartments.
By now, everyone agrees that single-family owner-occupancy is the surest path to safe, stable neighborhoods. We hope that Burgess will be able to carry that ball a long way in the future. "
Not so sure "everyone agrees" with that idiocy. How 'bout low taxes, good schools and low crimerate? Huh?
