I agree completely with the fact that Section 8 ruins good neighborhoods. I have seen family members loose tens of thousands of dollars by the government deem that the nice neighborhoods they lived in could use more diversity and implemented section 8. A suburb of Denver went from the official name of Montbello to Montghetto. All of the supermarkets and stores closed down due to extreme increases of theft. The only thing left there is basically gas stations, bars and liquor stores.

Understand where you’re coming from. Have you seen what has happened to the southwest part of Denver. 20 years ago we tried to fight Pena’s dispersed housing plan which called for the city actually buying up houses in our neighborhood and putting “housing clients” into them. We were called racists by dear Mayor Pena at a town meeting for opposing the plan. What was once a beautiful area full of well-kept modest homes has really gone downhill.
