Question- what in your view is the problem and how does incorporating address it?

Reply to Plans unveiled for Columbia library and affordable housing by mynamesafad

In just the past three years, this county has committed north of $250 million on two buildings. During both instances the developer never defined what “affordable” means.

Meanwhile Howard Hughes Corporation and their allied developers can take this government promissory note to their investors and bankers to finance their other boondoggle projects.

$250 million would pay for a lot of low-income housing. It would end homelessness in Howard County.

Comical, breathtaking, shocking, are just a few words I’d use to describe the conflicts of interest. Many of them rely on the benevolence of Howard Hughes Corporation for their survival.

Howard Hughes literally funded candidates to the tune of at least a hundred thousand dollars with a campaign platform rooted in culture war.

Any comments with respect to some of the points in the piece? Such as:

For example, why did Lakey Boyd give a 65% reduction in rent to a corporate entity at the expense of CA home-owner dollars?

Or Why is Howard Hughes Corporation another corporate entity getting a 50% reduction in rent?
