I saw video of this debacle. A mass of human failures. It looked like a scene from Ethiopia with the natives mobbing a food supply truck. It was disgusting and scary.
I cannot even imagine!
I have a feeling this will happen in other cities as well as more and more people cannot pay their mortgages, get foreclosed upon, and have nowhere to go.
I live in a rural area an hour from ATL. I cannot STAND Atlanta. I got lost downtown recently, and I couldn’t wait to get out of the place. Just the right match would inflame that powder keg. My husband thinks the Atlanta skyline is “beautiful,” but I view it as spearlike edifices jutting up from a concrete jungle.
It was very scary - and really depressing. How in the world did we ever get to a state where we have mobs of American citizens (and I’d say they’re probably all native-born and raised, looking at them) clamoring for government housing?
I think Obama would like to see all of us in this position, frankly. This is also part of his income redistribution plan; many of the properties that are now being used as Section 8 housing are actually luxury homes and condos that have been bought by investors during the crash. The investors see renting them to the government as a great form of steady income. Needless to say, people in those neighborhoods who had bought and kept their homes are not happy, but that doesn’t matter because they’re probably all evil capitalists anyway.
