I’m quite frankly sick of capitalism in general. The defense of “Well, why SHOULDN’T they make money off of this” or “These people should just be happy they have a roof over their head” while the residents have zero autonomy, authority, humanity, access, dignity, hope, accountability... very few know what it’s like to live your life that way. It’s sickening that there is even the ability for these people to be take advantage of like this.

Eeesh man.

That should be motivation for these people to save up enough money for their own place

Make a law that says the owners of Sec 8 properties cannot make a profit, give it a year and there will be no Section 8

Are you just trolling, or legitimately retarded?

Listen here, you cucktacular millennial.

I own rental property and I can choose to rent my units out to section 8 tenants anytime I want and make MORE money than I do in the open market. Know why i don't? Because section 8 tenants tear shite up and are a nightmare to deal with and complain about everything. You think that shitty little $1000 damage deposit even comes close to trying to cover the damages Kashera and her 2 kids, the 3 others and her sometimes boyfriend she didn't tell me about but try to sneak in my 3 bedroom unit in violation of her lease, are going to do to that unit? Ever try to take a welfare queen to civil court? Think, Jerry Springer meets Judge Judy meets The View.

One day you'll grow up and have things and want to protect them. You'll work hard for those things and when Uncle Sam squeezes your titty for his 30 share you'll curse those "poor souls" who fricked their life up while you worked for yours. All so Billy Bob can make his trailer payments because he dove off a ladder at work trying to catch his meth pipe

Poor life decisions have consequences. If you decide to become a burden to the taxpayer you shouldn't complain.

Now I realize that doesn't apply to everyone who finds himself in this predicament, but I think it applies to a very large percentage.
