Thank you Microsoft and Bill.

Thank you CNN for share. Sounds very interesting to follow up on and read. Affordable Housing for others.

So MSFT is “investing” $500 M of the stockholders’ money to push property values down? The Board should fire the idiot that conceived such an idiotic notion.

Seattle Democrats: People can't afford housing in our town Also Seattle Democrats: Let's confiscate even more money from those who work, which will provide them with the lower take home pay they need to afford housing.

outstanding, someone helping the homeless cause our government sure in hell isn't

Microsoft pledges $500 million to address homelessness, affordable housing in the Seattle areaThe pledge comes at a fraught time for tech companies and the cities that house them, as skyrocketing home prices have outpaced increases in income. GOOD If they REALLY want to help then they should invest in building homes for the needy and providing people with jobs they can actually depend on financially. Any time you start working with the government, whatever money you pledge will not be used towards the cause you wish. Shouldn’t be their job to do this, raise taxes on the rich & have marginal rates, cut money from military as its bloated), & reinvest in the people the government personnel swore to support when they took the job.

Microsoft’s Answer to Seattle Area’s Housing Problem: $500 MillionMicrosoft Corp. pledged $500 million to support affordable housing in the Seattle area, an effort to address concern that technology companies’ financial success has pushed less wealthy people out of their communities. i think they should cut that in half Microsoft, Google, Facebook, (maybe Netflix) should be broken up. They have become monopolies, competitive monopolies. They have competition, however, competitors are week and feeble. I don't believe Amazon and Apple are monopolies. lol Amazon HQ2 buyers' remorse, NYC?

I don’t see how this will help homeless people. Sad, enough $ to give every man, women, & child a Million dollars in this country and majority will go to corrupt officials.
