Housing Secretary Scott Turner wants to move the Department of Housing and Urban Development out of “the ugliest building in D.C.,” he said in an interview with Fox News on Monday.
He cited the brutalist structure in Southwest D.C. as a factor behind a culture of “mediocrity” within the agency.
“HUD is known as the ugliest building in D.C.,” Turner told Fox News’ Bret Baier. “The culture, the complacency … over the last couple of years, and even over the last decade, it has kind of settled in that mediocrity is OK.”
