I believe these are federal vouchers and such these Alantians can thus move out to a nice, light, suburb.

I remember a study overlapping Section 8 voucher growth and crime. Same Same.

On the South Side of our Village there's an apartment complex that 'way back when' (1978) was real nice. So nice we gave it a thought of moving there before we bought our house - on the North Side of the Village. And then sometime in the late 80's it went 'Section 8'.

Well surprise-surprise. Shortly after it went 'Section 8' our Police Department had to open a 'Satellite PD Office' right next to it because of all the crime(1) in that one place. The PD rented a space in a strip mall, which 'we' have to pay for.

So it is a fact: Where Section 8 goes, Crime follows.

(1) No 'Violent Crime'. Mainly Drugs, Property Damage, Car break-ins, etc. Oh and and and 'spouse abuse'. We haven't had a Murder in about 20 years. But the Cops were always there so that Complex needed 'special' attention.
