I agree this is ironic. But just to interject some facts to the discussion, HUD would not be responsible for whether or not the Elevator worked, at least not directly. That is the Landlord's responsibility. HUD, through the local public housing authority, should inspect those subsidized properties and make sure they are compliant.
Cuts to HUD funding also are not likely to directly impact the working of elevators either. That will almost certainly be less subsidized housing units, not less money per unit (and the landlord would get market rent either way).
I'm confused. Cuts to HUD funding will result in cuts to INSPECTION according to your first paragraph.
How does that NOT result in more problematic infrastructure like elevators?
We will just have fewer elevators. Besides, walking up 20 flights of stairs is good exercise for the welfare Cadillac queens and their children.
