I think Micheal Perelman is right. Posting questions and concerns on on
current pressing issues is an important way to promote the value<1> of
paying more attention to these pressing issues. I've posted questions on
the current propsects in South Africa, so now I'm posting a concern.
The concern is actually my wife's. She is Zairios, formerly economic
advisor of a former president of C.A.R. and currently on sabbatical from
the Central Bank of Zaire for graduate study at UT Knoxville. She is
concerned that a Government house building program will lead to local
government corruption and expectations of more expensive housing than the
new S.A. can provide on a universal basis. She prefers a program of
government financing of privately constructed housing, and argues that the
key point is that the lending must be based on current income, and provided
without downpayment.
Comments? Preferably concrete rather than esoteric?

<1> Oh, and what do I mean by value? I hesistate to say at this point, but
