In any event, although the housing agency is located in Boca, it's not as if this is for housing only in Boca. The condition for these section 8 vouchers is that the recipients live somewhere -- anywhere -- in Palm Beach County for a year. Then they can live anywhere they want inside or outside of the county (as long as they find a landlord willing to take the voucher).
My sister lived for awhile in a nice complex right off of Hillsborough. Once you got on Hillsborough proper, however, you were in the ghetto.
Most South Florida towns are "spotty" as my mother would say. You have beautiful nabes near the intercoastal, but dangerous ghetto/sleazy nabes further on the mainland, particularly immediately adjacent to I-95 in the case of Palm Beach/Broward/Dade Counties.
Notice that nowhere in these stories is it mentioned that these po’ people are fighting over section 8 vouchers. Is that in fact the case? Am I dumb to ask such a question?
