So don't buy into what a couple of unhinged lunatics are forever foaming at the mouth about.This is just about a couple of spoiled sports who misanticipated the real estate market. - Buckley Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:08:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5923-community-development-seeking-13-for-homeless-programs#comment-6625 Does that mean that we can scratch the NGO funding from the City's budget next year? - ragin_cajun Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:10:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5923-community-development-seeking-13-for-homeless-programs#comment-6620 Is this only for the city of Lafayette, or can it be used in the parish????? If it can be used in the parish, then why shouldn't some of it be used in Broussard, Scott, Carencro, Youngsville, etc.? I am hoping those communities are in line for their fair share. I'm not understanding why this has to be only in the city proper of Lafayette. Frankly, I'm glad it will free up some of the "subsidy" money for non profits that boondoggle the budget every year..... If it does, I sure hope some roads get to be repaved..... - Morrow Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:59:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5923-community-development-seeking-13-for-homeless-programs#comment-6609 HB 1104 by Rep Robideaux: http://www.legis.state.la.us/billdata/streamdocument.asp?did=690024 Fast takeover of property, circumvented sheriff sales, rent and price controls,etc. and only north Lafayette is in a stituation to not be able to "opt out". Cravins passed this originally with an all black board. Now at page 4 the board will be one member of the Community Foundation, 1 of the Chamber and 3 of Joey Durel buddies, ehr, I mean appointments. While we're talking about consolidation, what is more important is that north Lafayette is once again a pawn on the community chess board! - realitychecks Tue, 23 Mar 2010 18:45:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5923-community-development-seeking-13-for-homeless-programs#comment-6605 WAKE UP UPPER LAFAYETTE!! Why would we seek to be the New 9th Ward? And where, pray tell, would this happen? Why, of course, under the "north Lafayette Redevelopment Law" it will all be dumped on the north side! Acadiana Outreach seeks to get into real estate development under the guise of putting in a "mixed used" development, the new name of "slum" building. HUD funding such as HOPE requires fixed rents and suppressed property values for 40 years! The NLafRedLaw allows the board to control prices. - realitychecks Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:39:43 +0100
