HUD nominee pioneered innovative affordable homes

NEW YORK – Shaun Donovan, the New York official Barack Obama chose to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, has hands-on experience with an issue important to the president-elect: affordable housing.

As commissioner of the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Donovan, 42, has received widespread acclaim for his leadership of an effort to add 165,000 reasonably priced homes to New York's ultra-expensive housing stock by 2013.

We're so used to bush hiring unqualified, incompetent morons to important positions, that it is amazing to see people with relevant experience being considered now. What a change this new administration will be - if we can survive that long!
