re: Why do we still have section 8 in this country?

Section 8 has replaced public housing in most of the country. Why would we get rid of it?

Because it rewards the buidlers, owners of the buildings off the backs of the taxpayers, many that share living in those same apartment buildings but pay full price for their home while their neighbor lives in an apartment that has the exact same floor space and gets section 8.
Here in Burbank there are apartments like that and the section 8 will pay less than $800 for their apartment that the other tenant is paying over $2,000 a month.
