Entire cities as “prisons”? Why, yes.

I suppose this means you are against such "solutions" as Section 8 housing?

“I suppose this means you are against such “solutions” as Section 8 housing?”

Yes, absolutely and unequivocally opposed to it.
With NO apologies for being so.

I think it’s worth mentioning - and generally unknown - that Section 8 is an entirely VOLUNTARY program. A municipality or township cannot be forced to accept or sponsor Section 8 participants. Doing so is entirely optional.

But the “catch” is - once you “volunteer”, they have you.

Of course, the do-gooders in many places are entirely oblivious to this - and they sign up for Section 8 with the intentions of “helping” people - and END up importing into their communities the dysfunctional and dangerous people that are attached to Section 8.

If any governmental policy is destroying communities, it is Section 8.

I’ve seen this right next door, with “crackheads of color” who occupied an apartment in the Mexican hotel next to my house for 6 months. Police cars, crack parties, screaming and disorder at 3am. Glad they’re gone, I think the landlord next door wised up. At least the illegals there now are somewhat more behaved.
