...What the real estate industry can do is to build housing units, because developers and contractors have done it over and over again, and have expertise at it. The industry also has access to private mortgage money, which is required because there simply is not enough public money to support an adequate rate of construction. To be able to tap that expertise and those financial resources, we must pay the costs--in the form of fees, profits, or tax incentives to private builders. There are Federal and State programs to do that, and they involve the cooperation of City...
...elderly on small, fixed incomes, for large families and families with limited incomes who cannot pay the price the market must charge.

The report, which was released just before hearings on the Erlenborn bill began, probably helped to swing some Republican Congressmen on the Green subcommittee against the bill...
...cops would probably come, so the situation would cease to be humorous, and your means would be dwarfed by the enemy's means. Besides, the demands were just--I was convinced even then that they were just--and since the occupation would take place in any case, why not support it while using it for your own purposes...
