Army Housing Purchase in Austin TX

I understand RHIP, but there is no more reason to wonder why the Fedreal deficit is so high.

The Army purchased four houses in Austin TX for some VIPs for $8.5 million.

"The largest of the homes, which is designated for Gen. John M. Murray, the four-star general at the helm of Futures Command, is 5,700 square feet and features a private pool, a three-car garage, a wine grotto and a media room, according to the real estate website Zillow. Its sale price was $3.4 million."
"Some of the luxury features of the three single-family homes purchased include a built-in coffeemaker and wine fridge, a guesthouse and an outdoor kitchen. The two smaller homes are about 3,300 and 4,200 square feet. They sold for $1.8 million and $2 million, respectively, according to information from the previous owners and sale documents."

The Army effectively paid $1.29 million to buy a house to tear it down to make a parking lot.

"Meanwhile, nine Army families filed a lawsuit in June against Fort Hood Family Housing and its parent company Lendlease for the conditions of the homes they were provided at the central Texas Army base, which is about 70 miles north of Austin. Those conditions included mold, lead paint and asbestos exposure, and rat and insect infestations that the families said were exacerbated by delayed or inadequate responses to maintenance requests."
