Man, nothing like that here. Section 8 apartment building nearby has maybe one older Escalade in the parking lot and a lot of even older beaters. Are you sure part of the complex isn't non-subsidized? Very common here that the majority of units are full rent commercial and a small proportion are Section 8.
I have to question WTH your local or state agencies are doing (or not) who are charged with administering the Section 8 funds. Here, the number of available units is small, the waiting list is long, and it is not unknown for people to be prosecuted for welfare fraud.
It’s California. I think it would be safe to say that anything goes.
