Freedom can not ring in an oppressive society. This blog reflects thoughts, personal experiences, + several notes of interest on 'affordable' housing. What do you think of gov't financing nuisance properties? Rockland Place continues doing business as SPRING GATE APARTMENTS along Martha Drive + Hannah Way in Rockland, Mass. (shady business).

Waters charged with ethics violations, OneUnited - Daily Business Update/The Boston Globe
Are special interests and political favors slowly destroying our country? Waters charged with ethics violations related to OneUnited - Daily Business Update - The Boston Globe

LAUNCHING OF POLITICAL CAREERS
For very good reason, I've become quite interested in the unethical dealings of politicians and multifamily housing developers connected with HUD funds and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits....
H.H. BROOKINS was credited with launching the political careers of REP. MAXINE WATERS, D-Calif. , and former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley . Later, he became bishop of the AME district that included Washington, where he befriended Mayor Marion Barry. His political connections helped him land several lucrative government contracts over the course of his career.
But while H.H. Brookins' influence could help his son circumnavigate Las Vegas politics, his connection to ROZET was a stumbling block with HUD officials who were leery of the possibility that Shepherd Hills might be in cahoots with ROZET, who's been accused of defrauding the government by collecting excess subsidies, and improperly pocketing millions of taxpayer dollars in a massive kickback and insurance scam.
"Our ROZET connection was a problem. Many (HUD officials) have it out for ROZET. I think they thought he would come back in through the back of the deal," Steven Brookins said.
When negotiations became difficult, Steven Brookins said, "I had my dad and Jesse (Jackson) go see them (HUD officials) ..."
At a meeting in Washington in December 1996, HUD officials, ROZET, the Brookins, Wasson and SEVERAL OTHERS cut a deal on the SIERRA NEVADA ARMS property. Click here to read more.
BRUCE ROZET, and AFFILIATES have also had vested interests in ROCKLAND PLACE APARTMENTS, Rockland, Massachusetts.

United Conflicts of Interest
It doesn't make it proper, but don't most of our politicians have hidden conflicts of interests nowadays? I mean, how else could Rockland Place Apartments dba Spring Gate get away with what they've been getting away with?
Another BREAK and ENTER was reported at 82 Martha Drive. And yes, that really is one of the SUBSIDIZED RESIDENTIAL buildings where another business is listed; I believe a Mariott Hotel and/or Friendly's Restaurant is listed at that address. If only promises of security cameras were honored by corporate partners and HUD; they might have the evidence needed to stop the crime that takes place on their nuisance property. So who and what really benefits from tax dollars and tax credits being poured into subsidized housing?
