DC. is surely a radical breakthrough. It is radical the way the old homestead bill after the Civil War was radical. Back then we gave thousands of impoverished immigrants and Americans an opportunity they could hardly have imagined they would ever have. a chance to own their own piece of property on the frontier and to extend the boundaries of civilization westward. Like that breakthrough program. this amendment does much the same thing in Americas inner cities. The terms of this proposal are generous. allowing poor residents of public housing to buy a modest apartment or housing unit at a mere 25 percent of its value. no down payment and a guaranteed lowrate mortgage.
