That’s why public housing has acquired a bad reputation and people don’t want public housing projects in their neighborhoods.
Its a crime, prostitution and drug dealer magnet. Its asking for trouble.
Section 8 is stealth public housing. It is slow and devious because it is a gradual transformation. Look at your neighborhood and its age. If it’s past the 30 year mark, chance are the original owners have paid off the mortgage and moved somewhere better or cheaper, died. Flippers and would be slumlords have come in and buying them up and greasing the skids for a clean Section 8 inspection.
You get one Section 8 and many more follow - count on it. No self respecting homeowner wants to live anywhere near one.
