Only a matter of time before that property falls into disrepair, filled with trash and its interior gutted and destroyed. The owner needs to be held liable for every penny of depreciation of all properties affected by this.

So, will we see formerly nice neighborhoods “go ghetto” as we see the public assistance crowd move in?

Do these owners realize that public assistance types really tear up the places they live in? The rent income they get will not offset their repair costs, or their ongoing mortage costs, to keep the properties.

If you get undesirables in nice areas, then property values drop for everyone.

In evil times, the more useless or dangerous you are to society, the higher you live.

Amazing, how satanic goverment has become after we turned our back on God.

The reason why we have a housing problem is that the powers that be don't like the fact that some of us do what we can to move away from areas that breed crime. That fact irritates the powers, so they resort to a whole list of schemes which either encourage us or force us to comply to their ideals.

To prevent us from escaping neighborhoods that are "a changing" they fix the housing bubble in such a way to make it difficult for us to move. Then they fix it so people who breed crime are allowed into neighborhoods they would not be able to afford without a grand infusion of OUR CASH.

The Plan is for all of us to live happily in a Worker's Paradise, unable to move as we see fit, and have us pay the entire bill.

Typically, tenants pay about one-third of their income toward the rent and the government pays the rest

And who pays the utility bills? I own a 1800 sq" 4/2 in NE Florida, brand-new energy-efficient everything and my summer utility bill can easy exceed $300 -and that's keeping my A/C set at a sweltering 76 degrees.

I can't image what the bills for a 4500 sq" home with a living room "large enough to play football in" are going to set back these Section 8 tenants.

Just a small number of these folks will destroy the neighborhood in short order. Many of their children are little cretins who start building up rap sheets in their early teens.

Does anyone know if there is a publicly available list of addresses that have already been rented to Section 8 tenants? That would be useful information to track if you’re thinking of buying a home.

Thank you for posting this!

I just copied it off and I'm sending it to our Homeowners Association Board to make sure this doesn't happen in our neighborhood.

[I see my hands]

I hate the deadbeats who defaulted on their mortgage obligations and the parasitic dregs manipulating for advantage. Hate, hate, hate.

[dfwgator]

There goes the neighborhood.

Of course the one potential good thing is that once these people start moving in next to limousine liberals, they’ll start changing their tune.

Section 8 has good parts also. I had 20 section 8 units. I restricted each unit for elderly handicapped . All were 1 floor units and were kept in great condition by the Tennant with constant attention from the housing unit.
It was a very pleasant experience for myself ,county,and tenant.

[bgill]

Sure, just wait until those homeowners have to file to get them evicted after they don’t pay their rent for six months and then find out everything including the kitchen sink has been stolen or destroyed. Sorry, no sympathy.

Some fancy neighborhoods open gates to Section 8 tenants

They won't be fancy for long.

[SeminoleCounty]

There are way too many new and upper middle class neighborhoods in Florida where the overwhelming majortiy of residents are non-white, and, people have no cars (with no public transportation in the area). This Section 8 stuff has been happening a while

[Bon mots]

Section 8 = ghetto

Remember! Harlem was built as LUXURY housing before a long- forgotten crash!

I lived in a condo for almost a year and discovered after leasing the neighbors below were Section 8. I had to call the police on them twice for domestic violence. They drank heavily, didn’t have jobs, and had a broken down car in front. There was pretty much nothing the HOA could do.

I lived in another, very nice, upscale condo when the foreclosure crisis hit. I used to go to the pool and there’d be a couple sunbathers or a couple senior citizens. It was lovely. Then, some condos went Section 8. The pool became unusable. It was taken over by white trash and gangs, and things were starting to have graffiti on them. We got a German Shepherd.

We moved from the condo to a home in a gated community in an even more, very upscale area- one of the nicest. We were near a nice shopping plaza. In the planned development, there were condos in the center of the hub. Nearly every single week there was a police helicopter circling overhead. My neighbor commented that it was because the condos had gone Section 8. The grocery store’s ingress and egress had to be remodeled and the other stores were locking their doors during the day due to flash mobs. A house behind me that was vacant at least a year obviously went Section 8. I came close to calling the police twice. I think the HOA got rid of them. They were only there a couple months and trashed the $350000+ house. I kept my gun within arm’s reach always. I figured my Shepherd would give me time to get the safety off.

I now live in a guard gated community. We only had 6 burglaries in one week last month so that might be an improvement.

I lived in that area and let me tell you how this will play out. If the owner and his attorney are successful in grandfathering their section 8 Mcmansion, the association will pass restrictions specifically designed to rack up fines against this owner (I.e., renters have no right to amenities, may only use association roadways to enter and exit the rented premises, etc.). Once the fines pile up because the 9 kids used the pool, basketball courts or rode their bikes on association streets, they will foreclose on this owner and viola, section 8 grandfathered McMansion problem disappears.

Sec 8 will kill an area as quick as projects
