Can’t tell you how many times I hear of folks living in section eight. Does anyone at all besides me pay rent or a mortgage anymore?
I live in the 7th richest county in the country (according to Money magazine) and yet section 8 has destroyed many neighborhoods here that have apartments in them with eelfare crime cases. They eat up huge police, public school and medical resources (our tax $$$) and they pay little or no taxes as ours keep on going up.
You may not know this but small businesses support section 8 as they do a local county program here called affordable housing where the county helps a lower income family/person buy a house in nice neighborhood with our tax money, paying about half the price and being co-owner. They also like amnesty for illegals even though long term these work against them politically.
Businesses like this because it's cheaper nearby labor that they don't pay for directly.
