This will create a target rich environment for criminals. In most suburban areas people work very hard. They pay extra to live in a safe and secure environment. There homes are often empty and are easy targets for criminals.
That is what we are going to get.
BTW...we get to pick his neighbors.
And they will be singled out as the most conservative, GOP registered, rather than the Marin Co. Pacific Heights et al hoods.
This is far from the last thing he will do. He will probably also
#1: Either formally give Guantanamo back to Castro or simply abandon the base and let Castro walk in, then he rents it to the Russians, Chinese, or Iranians/
#2: Pardon all previously convicted felons with sentences served so they can vote.
#3: Pardon all associated with his administration for any crimes they “might” have committed.
#4: Do something very big for gays and Blacks, such as ordering them to be given first priority for all federal programs and services, due to “decades of discrimination.”
#5: Forgive many federal loans where the practical effect will be to erase debts for Blacks.
#6: Order the immediate destruction of 95% of nuc warheads as “a path to peace.”
#7: Pardon all federal felons where there was “disparity in sentencing along racial lines” i.e. free all he black drug dealers.
#8: Give federal money to “classes of people have suffered organized oppression” i.e., give $10,000, $20,000 to every black.
This.... and more.
Section 8 only pays a little, so there will be few renting.
Are they building welfare projects to coral the crime instead.
Past time to end any and all “federal grant money”. Keep local money local—and up to locals to decide even whether to forcibly take it via taxation at all.
They should relocate them next to THEIR homes and in THEIR neighborhoods.
See how they like it and all their fat cat donors like it.
Baltimore did this to working class white neighborhoods and destroyed them.
Poor people who don’t work for anything appreciate nothing. They care for nothing. And they still want what you have.
If Obama wasn’t such a failure and actually stimulated the economy enough to create jobs and actually improve the lives of black people, they wouldn’t need to do this.
This is just the next gimmick to buy votes and do nothing to improve the lives of anyone.
In a way, it might help ... by exporting inner city crime to the burbs, creating racists out of those not yet facing up to the source of the problem.
Ah, the joys of living out in the country away from town. Out here we refer to it as Section “lovin’ it” Housing :)
As soon as Trump takes office all this stuff will get shite canned.
Kill whitey!!
Vouchers for housing, but not for school. Those Democrats sho’ do know how to keep the negroes down on the plantation.
There is another aspect to this. Cities are going broke. The federal govt is broke. The idea I’ve heard is move the federal payment dependent blacks out of the cities, gentrify. Higher prices for landlords and developers, municipalities collect more in taxes— saving their bacon. The role of commercial real estate in credit creation and economic expansion in the US economy is too significant to be threatened by a federal payments crisis. Cities need people who can pay their own way living there. And the only way to kick start that is with entry level housing for young couples. Move the schwartzers to the burbs, bring in young families. Knock down the projects, or at least renovate beyond recognition...which also helps the housing industry and the overall economy.
My son, a stauch conservative, lives is the East Bay of the San Francisco area. He bought a home for $500,000. He soon found out, across the street from him was a section 8 renter. He found out the owner of the property is well ensconced in the political world in that area.
The section 8 people, (more than one family living in the home)are nothing but PIGs and create all the problems on their block. They have several cars, because they drive taxi cabs, curtains blowing out the window, yard nothing but a pig stye. They do not park in their garage because it’s filled with crap! Noisy all hours of the day and night!
Instead of bringing prosperity to poor areas, they inject poisons and cancer into non-disfunctional neighborhoods.
The left is insane.
One of the writers at National Review has been tracking this and warning about it for several years. It’s a pretty big deal, but the Obama administration has been very careful about keeping it under the radar.
This also increases the Democrat vote in the suburbs
Just think how bad it would be if the Republicans didn’t control the purse strings.
