Hope he doesn't start building pyramids.

He's actually been a section 8 tenant and he has lived that life; he knows the effects of not having housing on a persons health, especially neurological and mental.. If anyone knows what needs fixed, its him.

To give a serious answer he's a very intelligent man with experience in politics and management. Urban Development isn't really about city planning as much as working with banks making all the little parts of HUD work together. Obama's push to break up the ghettos by the use of HUD grants (which, by the way, I couldn't support more strongly) is a keystone to his plan to lowering crime and fixing the nigger problem. While I doubt Trump will follow the same strategy someone who has fought in the trenches in the battle between local and federal regulation should be qualified to take on Carson's new position.
And by "nigger problem", for you pearl clutchers, I mean the inner city culture that sees hard work and self improvement as selling out.

Real estate billionaire seems to think they'd be fine.
Seriously though, the world is crazy ain't it?

That's a... curious appointment.
I'm not sure how to feel about Carson in general, but wasn't he a rather crooked doctor?

So my mom has an old college friend who worked with Ben Carson when he was still doing neurosurgery and boy does my moms friend have respect for him. She says that the moment he Stepped onto the floor everything go quiet and he used to respectfully demand respect of those who was working for him. He knew what he was doing and what he needed to do to get it done but never did it in an arrogant or stuck up way like most doctors are.
This guy separated a set of new born twins who were conjoined at the head and they lived. He knows what he's doing not just in medicine but also in management.

Ben Carson grew up in an urban area. He has many years experience.
