RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart.
Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000 volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day “blitz” organised by the charity Habitat for Humanity.
Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and mysterious skin rashes.
Putting aside the obvious jokes about the parallels between Carter doing to the country as President, exactly what he did to the poor people he put in these disease traps, what did he expect? Rich liberals love to releive their wealth-guilt by pretending to help the poor. But it's all for show. Once the cameras are gone and the celebrities have gone back to their mansions, the poor are left to fend for themselves in the squalor and filth. Just like with all liberal policies, it's all just symbolism for media consumption. The actual results don't matter, it's the good intentions that count.
Here's one of Jimmy Carter's HFH homes shortly after completion.....inviting isn't it?
