Good Job Mayor Joe. Another proud day in the life of an administration that is literally destroying a what was a great American city. Riots, Corruption Clap Clap. Can’t wait to see what’s next. No wonder your family members moved to Greenwood.
What “was a great American city”…? Indianapolis has grown substantially over the last 8 years and will continue to do so given there is another $10.3 Billion in public and private investment on the way. I grew up in Indy and apparently don’t remember this supposed “golden era” of Indy… just some lipstick on a pig downtown while factories closed all over Indy and, outside of downtown, the town collapsed in on itself. I never thought I would see the growth and development that I’ve seen the last 8 years along Mass Ave., in the Near Eastside/Southside/Northside along with, finally, a real transit network working class people can actually rely on, and WAY more to do for people who actually live here, not just wealthy Carmel residents who pop in for a Colts game and $100 steak before they drive back to Carmel. I think your perception is that Indy is in decline since it no longer caters to just the suburban elites and looks a lot more diverse now than it did in 1993.
I love this alternate reality that Conservatives have created where the city had, infamously, no crime problems, potholes, or racial tension when we had a Republican mayor lmao

All of these major mess ups by the city are all in the name of
social justice.
To our social justice friends that supported the BLM/Antifa
protests and riots, ** violent crime is still higher now than
pre-George Floyd. **
The Housing Agency has been an embarrasment for decades, just like Fall Creek. It took Democrats like Joe Hogsett and Bart Petersen to drain these Republican swamps, to borrow a concept from the MAGots. Since these problems didn’t really concern the good denizens of Second Presbyterian and other Republican strongholds in Marion County, much less the outlying communities like Carmel, they were ignored by the Republicans more concerned with sport venues and low taxes than whether the city was livable.
Hate to tell the liberal gop haters, but the Indianapolis Housing Authority has been basically incompetent and corrupt for many decades, even back before Lugar and Hudnut were mayor.
Too true. Mismanaged, never focused on or cared about. Those in leadership didn’t care for much of the population these areas housed. But a housing authority program can be well run, funded and maintained to truly serve the citizens that need the most help. And can be done to where neighbors don’t even know it’s low income house and blends in with the community. That is the goal
15-20 years ago, the biggest issue with Section 8 vouchers was slow processing times and the variations from one inspector to another. The last 5-8 years have been nothing short of abysmal. So much so that it forced us to only allow Section 8 applicants for housing as a last resort, drastically curtailing our participation to nearly non-existent. The inane way in which they pay property managers, the embarrassingly slow process, the requirement to sometimes still fax paperwork, or only send/receive certain documents via postal mail, just baffles us, but are the least of the chaotic ideocracy that we have seen from IHA over the years. I could write a book just on the insanity from their office.
For years I was gifted the opportunities to listen and watch Rufus Myers make a mockery of himself. I miss those days. And from what I’ve been told, he was an upgrade over his predecessor. Organization never stood a chance, and that’s an indictment of pretty much every Mayor since its inception, regardless of party.
Bud was an absolute sanctimonious bum, just did not care at all about the people involved, and a pain to deal with.
I served on the I.H.A Board from December 6, 2010, through December 31, 2017, appointed by a both Democrat and a Republican Councils. All Board Members serve without pay, as citizen volunteers. Bud Myers did a fine job, considering the limitations placed by H.U.D. and by unrealistic salary limitations. Many fine Democrats and many fine Republicans really do give a damn about all the people I.H.A. serves! Business School 101: holding someone accountable when he or she does not have proper authority is a basic mistake.
