Somebody (Brad) definitely did not read the best practices for use of the HAF. Nowhere does it say get rid of DCs and use HAF to cover the shortfall.
"My understanding of the Housing Accelerator Fund is it's for the federal government to provide us funding for bricks-and-mortar housing, and you want to use it to provide a financial incentive?" Councillor Ainslie asks.
Bradford says the HAF is to help deliver more housing, and this will do that.

God I'm researching the lies people are telling about the LA Fires on Twitter for a video and I'm genuinely so enraged.
It is so disgusting and depraved the way these grifters will use any opportunity -- even (especially) the most tragic -- to make a buck through spreading lies and fear.
