re: I learned something new this last week: Section 8 housing is investment properties

Let me state this another way: large corporations and investors BUY Section 8 housing units to MAKE A PROFIT. To say it again: our most vulnerable, the elderly, the disabled, those living in poverty, are LITERALLY making money for corporations by living in government housing. To be clear: these companies are making a PROFIT while these individuals and families are living in substandard, unhealthy conditions where they aren’t even able to control the thermostats, where they have to bathe in a 50* bathroom, where the lease states it is up to the tenant to pay for Fair Housing Act provisions.

TO SUM IT UP: SECTION 8 HOUSING MAKES BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR CORPORATIONS AND LEAVES OUR CITIZENS LIVING IN SQUALOR. Trickle down economics my entire arse.
