New HUD Secretary is NY City Housing Pres and Development Guy.

Well, although he is not a woman [or minority] as I would have liked to have seen, the new HUD Secretarial appointment is a great choice, the NY City Housing Chief (and former HUD'ster) Shaun Donovan. [He was named by President elect during his radio broadcast today].

The NY Times story is HERE.
Washington Post story is HERE.

I don't know him personally, but know that he served during last Clinton administration with people I had high regard for, and has led a series of housing innovations since he went to NYC. From Oregon perspective, he has been especially strong on preservation issues, an important Oregon priority.
