Habitat For Humanity is the worst idea ever. It is easy for all of you to say that it is all butterflies and rainbows, but it isn't. First of all if you don't own your a home and make a mortgage payment you are not aloud to have an opinion. Second if you do not have one or more of these houses in your neighborhood you don't get to have an opinion. My wife and I worked hard went to college saved up money for eight years to be able to afford a moderate house in a nice and peaceful neighborhood. We bought a piece of the American dream and then it all went to crap. Habitat for Communism built two houses in our neighborhood and it instantly decreased our property value and the nine people that moved into those houses are ignorant, lazy, and messy to say the least. This program sucks. H4H=-$30,000

Habitat for Humanity does not help anyone but traditional "families". It does not help single people or couples who do not have children. It doesn't matter how poor those people are or how hard they have struggled or how willing they are to contribute sweat equity to have their own homes. Because these people didn't reproduce, they aren't eligible for help. At the same time, many of Habitat for Humanity's "clients" wouldn't need charity if they refrained from having children they couldn't support. I used to support Habitat for Humanity with checks and labor. I no longer do because of this issue.

My opinion is this. My husband and I am scraping by every month to pay a mortgage. We have worked all of our lives to get this dream. I cannot afford to have any work done on my home, and have to do many of the things myself after being exhausted from work. I have many neighbors and relatives that need work on their homes, as well as my own. Now the rich people in my company living in multimillion dollar homes decide they want to feel better about themselves and we should all volunteer to built a home for a total stranger, who could be an ax murderer or a lazy person. Why are some people entitled to a free ride while others have to work all their lives for something. It doesn't seem fair and it seemed hypocritical. Half of these people volunteering probably wouldn't stop on the side of the road to assist me if my car broke down. What about the contractors they are taking jobs away from, and why do I have to spend $200.00 for a plumber to fix a broken toilet, which I lived with a month, and these people get free plumbers. Something just isn't right about this program. It may sound good, but why do we only help some people and not others. How do you determine who is worth?

I'm certain that Mr. Carter's intentions were noble, but of many those who benefit from this program may not be. I've seen these homes soon after completion, and the numerous automobiles that eventually lined their driveways (I worked two blocks from a cluster of these homes). It is a disincentive to those who partake of such charity, since they may become reliant on maintaining a qualifying level of poverty. All HH has done was free up some resources for them to splurge on cars, entertainment systems, etc. I had originally imagined Habitat for Humanity a great idea. But it simply stifles ambition.

A socialist orieted feel good program that brings rif raf into peaceful neighborhoods.There is nothing like have a new welfare mom get royaly set up for free when she pissed all the other government handouts she was given down the toilet.She moves in and shacks up with some other grungy old man and the former old man comes a calling to see the kids and all hell breaks loose.It's a real disincentive to be 25 years old and not come from a priveleged background and try to by a house with both you and your wife working and paying off student loans only to see Ms.welfare mom have a better place than you and not have a mortgage and not have to pay taxes.Where is Mr.peanut socialist commie man Carter when it comes to giving me and my wife a break to make it less taxing our tired backs?May you run into Bob Villa when he forgets to wear a belt while spackling where he ate a ton of B&M baked beans the night before Mr.peanut man!

Any cause that helps each other is great. Thanks also to the Carters for not only helping, but drawing attention to the cause.

THANK YOU JIMMY FOR A GREAT START AND A WONDERFUL IDEA!!!

Breaks down racial, cultural, and economic barriers and promotes genunine understanding among people who likely would not have met except through HFH. Truly Biblical in concept! I also appreciate Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter for their support of HFH. They are genuine missionaries of the lst order.
