Does anyone here know Myers personally? If so, what is his agenda?

He's got to know that inviting Section 8 tenants will only cause him grief from other property owners and will lead to a decline of his own property values.

ETA: Also does he travel with body guards?

More like she doesn't know how the world actually works. Things sound nice and koombayah until you find out the way things actually work.

She doesn't have any skin in the game which is why she doesn't care. That is also why most Section 8 people don't give a shite either.

He's already basically won the battle and he is very aware of that fact. He already had the statute struck down and there is little hope the Supreme Court will reverse so we're basically past all of that.

This is either his victory dance or his sordid strategy of forcing some big money to buy his portfolio of 50 rental properties.

I don't know him at all, but it's obvious that what he wants out of this is for people to give in to his desire to rent to college kids that aren't representative of a nuclear family.

i could give a shite less about color. Its section 8 housing in general. How much more do we have to hand feed those who "qualify" for sect 8? enough is enough.

You'll give a frick when/if you grow up and become a productive member of society. I'm not riled up in the least but I do have pity for you for still thinking that way at your age.

Perhaps spend some additional hours above your 18 studying up on the definition of that word.

This isn't about people being "good" or "bad". It's about the messed up incentives that section 8 creates. The government removes the motivation for both the renters and landlords to GAF about the property and the neighborhood.

This really isn't hard to understand.


Agree. And I also think it is a huge troll attempt. There will not be Section 8 residents in Southdowns. The houses are still too expensive. he is just pissed about the zoning laws (which were ruled to be unconstitutional).

But she doesn't give a frick. Which makes her edgy, cool, and hip. You ain't cool unless you don't give frick right?

I've been a productive member of society since 14 years old. Thanks for the concern though.

He can already do that. His case ruled the EBR statute unconstitutional last year. So he's already won that battle.

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.



I agree with this 100%.

But until you own property and understand the emotional and economic investment that goes into it, your opinion has very little credit.
