Military Families Report Major Problems With Privatized Housing : NPR
Privatization is never the panacea that Republicans and libertarians claim it is. Introducing the profit motive creates an incentive to cut corners.
"Severe mold, asbestos and electrical hazards are among the dangers in private military housing for thousands of service members' families, according to a new survey conducted by the Military Family Advisory Network. The report was released Wednesday, in conjunction with a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about the state of privately managed military housing. Nearly 17,000 people responded to the survey across 46 states. And more than 55 percent of participants who lived in private housing said they were dissatisfied with how management companies oversaw their dwellings."
