Evening Katya,
I hate to burst your translucent bubble, but I am a Republican.

I asked for a definition of what a section 8 entails?

Can you not provide the specific details of the delineation of a(Section 8)?

Please be advised I am a retired civilian/military policeman. I also had a very successful career in federal law enforcement(retired) So I do not have it in for professionals who Protect and Serve the public.

I do detest quitters and Peace Officers who, 1. throw their badges down, 2. loot, 3.flee and 4.violate their sworn oath as a police officer to Protect and Serve the citizens of their towns, boroughs, cities or localities.

FYI I grew up poor and a high school dropout. The military turned my life around from zero to a hero. I obtained a M.S. in Admin C.J and B.S. in Psychology. I have retired from two careers in law enforcement why???

Well I applied myself and never thought the world owed me a free ride. Simply put, I woke up! Everyone else who has the fire within can do the same thing in life.(Applying instead of Relying)

In closing Katya, maybe you misunderstood what I posted. I will never be against my bother or sister peace officers, unless they break the law or mistreat/abuse other(s) with the powers they are invested with in the law enforcement profession.

P.S. you are quite welcome to private post me.

Simply stated, section 8 vouchers are paid for by HUD to allow low-income wage people, (which unfortunately includes many civil service people in large expensive urban areas) to lease/rent housing. As some cities also have enacted their own rent control districts, I don't know how this effects HUD funding.

Perhaps we have both misread each others commentary....it's just too simplistic to state that people should have better educated themselves to not have to use certain govt programs. Some cities, like New Orleans actually require their Emergency and Police force to live in the city, which means some personnel will opt out of working for a force if forced to live in dangerous neighborhoods.
