I think he’s being cynical and anticipating that this will benefit white people the most and will only gentrify these communities.

Yeah I got that, but that's not what the program is. If anything the fear is it could lead to another sub-prime situation where you have folks getting mortages who really can't afford them. I'm going to look into this program myself. Hopefully I don't make too much money to qualify. If anybody will gentrify a black Los Angeles neighborhood it will be me :p My rent (which just went up TODAY) is ALREADY a mortage.
