Let's Not Plow Under Wyatt Yet
Washington columnist Frederick C. Othman reports on housing czar Wyatt and the Home Owner's League backing new construction targets. As of now 607,000 homes started, with projections reaching 1,000,000 by January if progress continues. Building materials rise, costs for a five room veteran home hover around 9 000 dollars, keeping monthly payments near 80 dollars. Wyatt aims to finish houses promptly to lower costs and stabilize the program. He appears competent and determined, despite critics.
