We did this before...it was called BAQ with VHA. We changed it to BAH to save money on the cost of oversight necessary to run the program..... Is our organizational memory that bad?

If you say the cap is $2000 people will spend $2000. To make these changes will save money for one year. After that everyone will just manipulate the system or get their own places. By doing this supply will go down and cost will go up, thus driving prices up. We need a PhD economist to break it down, but this formula(of adjusting to cost) sounds good by common sense, but doesn't adjust for human nature.

We did this exact thing before BAH. It was call BAQ and VHA. You had to submit your rental agreement to finance. What you described is exactly what happened. Plus the added bureaucracy that had to be put in place increased the cost on the manpower side as well. That was the original reasoning for going towards BAH.
