DALLAS — At least eight people were hurt when thousands of housing voucher applicants rushed the doors at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex in Dallas, Texas.

An estimated 5,000 applicants waited for hours to receive applications for one of the 3,800 available vouchers. The waiting applicants became a frenzied stampede when officials opened doors to the housing voucher offices earlier than expected.

They had an article in the Washington Post a few weeks ago. A woman with her single mom daughter and grandson had a Section 8 loan certificate and were looking at a 2,800 sq. foot house in a nice subdivision. Her share of the rent would be about $200.mo.

I can’t speak for Dallas, but Section 8 housing has become one of the biggest over-used “social programs”...

Drives me nuts to go by one of the many Section 8 apartment complexes to see the “rides” with 24/26/28 “ rims and tires that cost 10X what the cars they are mounted on are worth. To hear their car audio that would shame some concert venues, and to see the the thugs hang out. There is a fairly large Section 8 apartment complex at the end of the road we live on. I have been around apartments before, but I have never seen the number of fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances that run up our street each and every day. The police HATE going there (and the other Sec.8 complexes).

Since when did it become the government’s job to provide housing for free or at reduced rates for everyone?

The only purpose of Section 8 housing is to export surplus Democrat voters to non-Democrat areas so that the non-Democrat voters get swamped out.

Wow.

A mad sprint for welfare/entitlement handouts at Jesse Owens Memorial Complex.

What sad irony.

I got out of the Army during the 1973/74 recession and my wife and I were looking for an apartment in North Dallas, hoping we could find something affordable that was close to her well off parents, it was a very nice area and I was surprised to find a very nice apartment complex, that was a welfare complex only.

That was my first exposure to the fact that the dangerous people were being moved into the areas that upscale people struggled to afford, to escape the dangerous areas.

Absolutely correct. In addition the same political reasoning is behind the large influx of Somalis placed in critical areas.

WOW! Welfare gone wild. I thought it was all about fairness. This does not look fair to me. It is what they hate. Survival of the fittest. Liberalism always has the opposite retain to its intentions. The fastest got the voucher.

Looks like a shark feeding frenzy with about the same level of restraint and discipline.

Disgusting.
