It's kind of shocking, when it comes to how irresponsible it is. It's emblematic of a desire to, essentially, increase corporate power.

It is hoped that a future Congress under conservative leadership will enact legislative reforms of HUD programs. With or without congressional action, however, it is vital that a conservative Administration immediately institute guardrails across HUD programs to remove the administrative state’s bureaucratic overreach of Article I authorities, thereby ensuring formal execution of Article II process and personnel reforms of the sort outlined below.
FIRST-DAY AND FIRST-YEAR ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS”
A new conservative Administration can and should implement the following reforms that focus on both people” and process.”° Implementation of these reforms simply requires courageous political leadership across all of HUD’s key appointed positions.
• HUD political leadership should immediately assign all delegated powers to politically appointed PDAS, DAS, and other office leadership positions; change any current career leadership positions into political and non-career appointment positions; and use Senior Executive Service (SES) transfers to install motivated and aligned leadership.
• The President should issue an executive order making the HUD Secretary a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which will gain broader oversight authorities to address foreign threats, particularly from China with oversight of foreign ownership of real estate in both rental and ownership markets of single-family and multifamily housing,”® with trillions worth of real estate secured across HUD’s portfolio.
• The Secretary should initiate a HUD task force consisting of politically appointed personnel to identify and reverse all actions taken by the Biden Administration to advance progressive ideology.””
• The Office of the Secretary or the leadership in the Office of General Counsel should conduct a thorough review of all subregulatory guidance that has been instituted outside of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Additionally, departmental leadership should:
1. Immediately end the Biden Administration’s Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity (PAVE) policies and reverse any Biden Administration
actions that threaten to undermine the integrity of real estate appraisals.”
2. Repeal climate change initiatives and spending in the department’s budget request.”
