Fannie/FreddieMAC are more like brokers that specialize in purchasing loans from banks and credit unions. Fannie enforces the standards of those loans, may hold some and in turn may bundle off groups of loans as standardized securities that the larger financial sector can trade in. But, the buying frees the banks to issue more loans. 2025-07-01T17:11:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxv5ska3pzcqpa2ugcmtzcka6wv05yegzcyms9eqz5459yrks6epszyzt64d5m4ux9hml3mrhmjwmwld4smzly2z6p8nwnxrkej0myt04pzms39mg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf999twgnfspkqaj6rn0capagmx7s5dxlg5s6hw20hafuhzz6y4pgpf395d'>nevent1q…395d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The financial services sector loves tax breaks.

The structure of lending in the current systems means that corporate developers and landlords are generally the most frequent builders of multi-dwelling housing projects.

High schools didn&#39;t allocate a long time for lunch and students could spend a quarter to half of their lunch recess in line. So free lunches ended up improving quality of time for all students 2025-01-19T21:05:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvt2ez2pc8ghcz5kslj2jut498tz5sr7xvs9ghh0jxreey4gpwtzszyzt64d5m4ux9hml3mrhmjwmwld4smzly2z6p8nwnxrkej0myt04pzgdvs88 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspm8y7cg89s5amz4kxft7jwqpq0jskdjdwmtvgn28mulcjf5mn94cafmja6'>nevent1q…mja6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think some states contributed, but I think its also low enough cost that its possible for some districts to go it alone especially if its not every day. It also doesn&#39;t have to be just a question of free lunch or not, there is a lot of side possibilities providing fresher foods from local farmers for example - but thats further afield from the original topic of this thread. 2025-01-19T21:00:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgtkwzjfncygxxcfanunck44t8tryerk27vekxm5pvrpxsl3f30gqzyzt64d5m4ux9hml3mrhmjwmwld4smzly2z6p8nwnxrkej0myt04pzktnxga In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyahtwqxq9y9zdtmm6wftv0lfs327pqm0wxwxpe3t4qw5stjzzjns345w2l'>nevent1q…5w2l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>not only for some of the bigger support net issues, but smaller ones too like free school lunches for all kids.
