It seems out next HUD Secretary is going to be New York City Housing Commissioner Shaun Donovan. He’s not someone whose record I’m incredibly familiar with, but he’s extremely well-qualified with a very broad range of experience in housing issues and seems to have been ahead of the curve on some of the problems with subprime lending. What’s more, insofar as the HUD Secretary gets involved with a broader “urban development” portfolio experience in New York City would seem to predispose one toward an urbanist point of view.
