Is this a great town, or what?

Here's a guy who's figured out a solution to Miami's homeless problem. From the Associated Press:

MIAMI - Max Rameau delivers his sales pitch like a pro. "All tile floor!" he says during a recent showing. "And the living room, wow! It has great blinds."

But in nearly every other respect, he is unlike any real estate agent you've ever met. He is unshaven, drives a beat-up car and wears grungy cut-off sweat pants. He also breaks into the homes he shows. And his clients don't have a dime for a down payment.

Rameau is an activist who has been executing a bailout plan of his own around Miami's empty streets: He is helping homeless people illegally move into foreclosed homes.

Let me see if I have this straight...he's moving people who can't afford housing into homes that don't belong to him, but that once had owners who couldn't afford them either. Brilliant business model!

Rameau is the same guy who set up and ran the squatters village on city-owned land in the 'hood....until it burned down last year.

The story ends with this line: "So far, police have not gotten involved."

Let's see how long that lasts!
