That's what happens when you appoint your cronies to run agencies.

The deeper root of the problem is simply lack of accountability. Tenants don't have a choice since they can't afford to move and they're not paying anything remotely close to the cost of providing the housing. The subsidy funds come in (and payroll for staffers gets made) regardless of whether housing units meet applicable standards.
