We have 2 section 8’s on our street now. Last weekend we heard one of the couples fighting, not unusual, they often fight. We didn’t go out of our way to hear them, we were sitting on our porch talking to another neighbor who had come over to visit and the fighters were very loud and also outside. Before getting in his car and driving off the man screams at the woman, “I can’t wait to go back to prison, it will get me away from you.” He then gets in the car and screeches off only to return and repeatedly circle the block very slowly driving by the house, car radio blaring. This used to be a great neighborhood. Now I hate it. :(
If we’re going to have Section 8 housing, I’d like to see a law that forces every part of the country, including the wealthy ones to have a minimum amount of Section 8 housing, set on a per capita basis, periodically adjusted for population increases. In other words, wealthy areas should have the same percentage of Section 8 population as every other area, without any adjustment for housing costs. Only then will limo liberals and limo conservatives desist in their systematic destruction of poor and lower-middle class neighborhoods. In the same vein, I’d like to see private schools forced to take the same percentage of black kids as public schools, or be shut down. Without egalitarian measures that subject the wealthy to the same laws that screw the law-abiding and put-upon lower classes, they will continue with their misconceived and destructive do-goodery.
My neighborhood is not poor or lower middle class. Property owners include a doctor, social worker, building contractor, a couple of IT contractors, a couple small business owners (tree service and taxi) and a bunch of elderly widows who have lived in their houses for many many years. It has been a very stable and tight knit neighborhood until the last 3 years or so. Now we seldom gather outside as we used to do so interaction amongst the old crowd has decreased and we are less connected. :(
He was a Marine,not a soldier.
Big difference.
