Some previously nice suburbs have some “ghetto” sections due to the Section 8 housing being located there.
Yep maybe “there goes the neighborhood”. There are empty and foreclosed homes in nice suburbs. So we’re going to “renovate” detached suburban homes into multi-family housing? Or rent these homes at below market rates to Section 8 people?
Since Section 8 and public housing are already major programs, do we really need another major government intervention to provide more housing for poor people?
Why is this even being discussed now. What happened to health care as the issue of the day?
How utterly ridiculous.
I think what this news means is that somone figured out that we presently have a serious housing surplus, so building more houses will be wasteful.
Surprising to see commonsense taking hold in any part of the Obama regime, but stranger things have happened.
You all recall when Ronaldus Magnus' HUD people discovered that we could get "more bang for the buck" by renting existing housing for qualifying elderly or poor people than by building new public housing units?
You do recall that, right? This is Ronnie's own plan!
When your neighbors home goes into foreclosure, and then sits empty for several months, you know it’s a prime target for this government section 8 plan. You have two options.
1. Allow the government to move the freeloaders into your neighborhood, knowing full well what that will do to your quality of life.
2. Deny the home to the government. By any means necessary.
You do have a choice.
