Apparently Some Subsidies Are Awesome

After the never-ceasing outrage over some the fact some housing might be subsidized (funny how the outrage is directed only at rental housing not homeowners that use mortgage interest deduction subsidy), it's refreshing to read of a suburban community embracing a subsidy.

Brookfield is pretty blighted, isn't it?  Isn't that what Tax Incremental Financing districts were supposed to help with-blighted areas?

Update:  I never realizes blight was such problem across the state as other towns might be interested as well in doing what the Town of Brookfield is doing.

@Brian I was wondering exactly the same thing. How does this meet the spirit of the law?
