Section 8 is a curse

I grew up in a middle class neighborhood with virtually no crime. About ten years ago, a POS who owns multiple homes in the neighborhood decided to divide his properties into two and rent them Sec 8. Well, the neighborhood quickly went to shite and we hauled arse out of there. Now someone was just murdered in the house I grew up in. Thank you Section 8.

Do you want more homeless families?

With these kinds of things I ask "does it violate the laws of nature as we know it?" In this case it does. We are all not meant to succeed. Some of us are meant to die off. We should not be passing on genes that cannot hack it. If you can't find a way to fulfill your needs then oh well. Natural Selection is a bitch.

Gotta spread the crime around as well all the wealth.
Forward!

Another good reason to get rid of separate programs, just hand out checks.

Agreed.
A-holes like the one that pushed the OP out of his neighborhood are why we have zoning laws. People just don't understand that you have to work for where you want to live, it can't be handed out willy nilly.

I agree with all of this.

I disagree. Section 8 did wonders for the Gardere and Melrose East (aka "Mall City") areas.

Section 8 is terrible for pretty much everyone. If you own property near it then it drives down the value and will ruin a area. If you are one of the few poors that tries to actually better yourself the section 8 hand out looks good at first but is a toxic environment. The good residents often live near trash and as always trash wins out and takes everyone down. Then you have the ones that just want a place to live and they are basically entrapped in section 8 because why do better when you have a roof provided for you. Section 8 and mix income is a nice sweet idea on paper but in reality its a nightmare. Even the new plan of trying to keep them clean will never work because eventually leaches will leach and the nice new mixed income areas will go to shite. The only winner in section 8 housing is the slum lords. They get a pay check no matter what and barely have to do any maintenance when problems arise.

It's just another stupid idea with unintended consequences, like every other horse shite liberal scheme.
