Many years ago, I heard Carson speak at an awards dinner for people making a difference with at-risk youth in the DC area, and he was amazing. This room full of teenagers who could go either way was mesmerized.
It was sometime in the early 1990's. He had just completed a very complicated operation at Howard University Hospital where he had successfully separated conjoined twins - the first time ever this particular type of surgery had worked. And was a local hero. Carson had the whole room, myself included, ready to vote for him for President.
I might have made him Surgeon General or Health and Human Services. HUD would not have occurred to me.

He's sensible and smart - and I think driven to do a good job, regardless of his post. I'm certainly willing to support him in that post.

Much of HUDs policy over the past few years has been "use homebuyers" as a cash cow for other programs. I don't see Carson continuing that mindset, so in that regard he'll be good.
Not sure what, if any, experience he has w/housing though

I think that Carson cannot do any worse. One of the problems that I see in Gov is that no one has common sense. I think Carson will do well.
