Ron Sims: HUD Deputy Secretary

Recall King County Executive Ron Sims’ “tweet” back in September:

By early next year, many will come to regret their decision to delay buying a home.

Now word has it that this housing sage will be heading to DC to take the number 2 position at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Perhaps his comment was less of a prediction and more of a threat? One which he may now be in position to act on.

Hooray.

Ron Sims: Realtor Mouthpiece?

By early next year, many will come to regret their decision to delay buying a home.

- King County Executive Ron Sims, September 4, 2008

Spotted by commenter “K” on Twitter.

Well golly, if Ron Sims “tweeted” it, it must be true!
