The young interracial couple moved into the garden apartments near my house, and, before long, neighbors were complaining about the noisy stereo blasting, the wild pot parties, and the gangster-type visitors to the complex.
Women expressed concern for the couple's young infant being exposed to the pot smoke and pondered calling Social Services to report them. Others warned against this, afraid of retribution by the couple's scary looking friends who were overheard planning a robbery with a handgun.
Homeowners worried about their property values further declining and blamed the landlord of the complex for accepting Section 8 renters. The landlord retorted that in this economic climate, he had no choice but to rent to government-subsidized clients. He'd been trying to sell the apartments for 2 years and couldn't find a buyer and reiterated that he had no choice.

Living in an apartment complex full of Section 8 receipients was sufficient motivation to move my young family into our first house.

And say hello to my little .45 caliber friend!
When we were stupid and young, my wife and I were forced to live in civilian barracks....We even taught our parakeet to say, "Kill the landlord"...
Real human beings are not made to live in apartments.
Most middle class apartments nowadays have psychos, arsonist, murderers, and freaks living above and below you...
I swear, I'd kill myself before I ever went through that again....
A nice motor home would appear before that ever occurred. !
I know you like that Chode~
I refer to apartments as “Filing Cabinets for People”.
I have lived in a few apartments (now THAT is the ultimate misnomer...), and as soon as I could, I got the h*** outta Dodge. When the house went up beside me I got a bit squirrelly, but I’ve adjusted to it, but will be heading for the hills as soon as practicable.
Sorry bout that, second police job, finish a shift, go there.
Back when people were still sane, they were called "tenements," and decent people did everything they could to get their families out of them.
