I’ve noticed over the past 2 years or so that the “poor” have moved into my upper-middle class area of GA. Their numbers are growing too.

Is this some kind of gov’t program where they spread out their section 8 people to the burbs’ hoping we don’t notice?

I believe it’s more likely formerly better off people who have slid down the economic scale and don’t want to live where “poor” people live - a rational decision.

They are the folks who in 2008 had two leased luxury SUVs and a McMansion with a 5 year ARM and 30% negative equity.

Yes it is. My neighborhood was all set to fight a Section 8 Housing Project to be constructed about three years ago. Thanks to our neighbors who had backbone and weren't afraid to be call racists, they modified it into a Senior Section 8. You have to be 55 or older to move in.

Not ideal because I genuinely like kids who have responsible parents but much better than the alternative which was planned for us.
