Had the heads up on local butter biscuit becoming HUD Secretary. He’s everything you would not want to lead HUD in a housing crisis. He an anathema within the black community.

The mayor of Dallas?

Care to expand? I'm in affordable housing by trade; not familiar with him and not really sure what to make of it.

I figure time spent working with a large multifamily builder might signal some understanding of the development process and willingness to take action at HUD to encourage streamlining of development processes around the country, which would legitimately be welcomed. Of course, he has two years with a fluffy, bullshit, do-nothing title so that could also just take the shape of handouts to large developers and lack of enforcement on bad actor Section 8 landlords and the like.

And the rest of his resume - TX House member, other bullshit "chief vision officer" type jobs tells me it's just a place to stick someone whose political profile they want to raise, which is unfortunately what HUD has been for a while.
