REAC Scoring Trends 2015 to 2018   09:15
  You are not imagining it - REAC scores have indeed dropped across the country over the last couple of years.  Here are the statistics, taken from data published by HUD.    
  REAC Rules Changes 2016 to 2018   35:34
  The dramatic drop in REAC scores can be explained, at least partially, by the rule changes that REAC made in 2016 and 2017.  It is only now becoming very apparent, the effect that these rules changes have had.    
  HUD Announcement October 2018   14:36
  Politicial and media criticism of HUD over deplorable conditions at a few properties has ramped up over the last few years.  HUD was called out by the Senate in their 2016 Appropriations document, and was implored to make long needed improvements to the REAC inspection protocol.  In addition to the rules changes of 2016 and 2017, HUD issued a rather vague announcement that grabbed a lot of attention in October of 2018, but what does it really say?    
  The REAC Inspection and Single Building Properties   12:30
  Despite political and media outcry over inspections that fail to identify properties in "deplorable" condition, nobody is really publicizing the fact that many properties are failing due to a few relatively minor defects, even though they are in very good overall condition.  Single building properties bear the brunt of this serious design flaw in the REAC scoring system.

  Take a quick look at one of the sillier principles of the REAC scoring system, with unexpected results as they apply to electrical defects in an apartment.    
  How the REAC Scoring System Works - Part 2, Fun Facts to Know and Tell   3:34
  If you had to pick one, which would you rather fall off of?  A toilet or a 12th floor balcony?  A wiggly toilet seat has a higher scoring value than a missing balcony railing, even on the top floor of a high rise building - and a shock hazard accessible to children near the playground can have a lower value than one in an area nobody can get to.
