Years ago in Atlanta, it was posted that there were going to be 300 Section 8 houses available and a date to apply and it was a near riot.
30,000 showed up.
A friend of mine has rental homes, some for $2500 and up. She gets calls from people demanding she accept their $700 Section 8, that she is required by law to rent to Sec 8. She tells them, “no problem, where is the other $1800 coming from.”
That, along with the notification of credit and criminal checks stops most of them.
Mamdani would probably want her in jail.
