I've never seen section 8 be responsible for adding value to a community.

Does this guy own whole blocks in Southdowns or just a few houses here and there?


Once a community is stigmatized, it does not matter. The value will decrease.

Typical response. It's never about race though, right?

And this is the mindset that makes people hate section 8 types.

No one gives a shite about race. It's about class. They do give a shite about their property value and the long term social status of their neighborhood so it doesn't become part of North BR.

I would guess that several folks here are old enough to have once lived in the nice apartments at GSRI.

Nothing wrong with being young though.

The idea of section 8 and the reality of section 8 are two totally different things. Much like most gov assist programs.

THIS in a nutshell!

The "idea" of most things is what separates conservative and liberal visions. Reality rarely is taken into account and the actual truth would blow people's minds

I actually rented from this guy about a dozen or so years ago. He was just the middle man for another owner though. Is that what he is here or does he for sure own Southdown properties?

Whomever heads the Southdowns Monster should find Myers and sit down with him ASAP. Let him rent to college kids with some stipulations he'll screen renters and uphold the HOA. Its either that or Sec 8.

Face it. He's going to win the battle.

Let's be honest. Race plays a part in valuation of property values. It's a fact.

However in most cases, neighbors couldn't give two shits about your skin color so long as your a good person/neighbor and don't cause problems.

However, when you are talking section 8, odds are whoever moves in (white, black, hispanic, whatever) is probably of low class and will not bring anything positive to that neighborhood.

Only reason I would ever care is because section 8 would seriously devalue any property in that area. It's a fact and you can't deny that.

Well y'all can sit on a message board and bitch about it and make bigoted remarks or you can go do something about it. Choice is always yours.
