Yes well. My GAD is broken then. There’s no humans involved in this fight. May they both lose.

But Section 8 in the middle of town would be great! Serve them right too.

Funny you should mention that, we're currently fighting that fight in my town.

Fortunately, the town council (and frankly, most of the town) is fairly conservative, and the zoning ordinances haven't passed. But that's not without a whole lot of trying by a couple of real estate developers and a double handful of liberal loudmouths.

Loudmouths: "You don't want Sec 8 housing because you hate black and hispanic people!!!" Rest of the town: "No, we don't want Section 8 housing because of all the attendant problems that go along with it."

Interesting fact that I didn't know.... there are three apartment complexes in our fair town. One is Sec 8, I don't know about the other two. From 2011 to March of 2014, the apartment complexes generated 690 "criminal" calls to police. Everything from "Domestic Disturbance" to Drugs, Rape and Murder.

The "main" housing development in our town has about twice as many houses as the apartment complexes have units. Over the same time frame, they generated eleven (11) "criminal" calls to the police.

Amazed me. I figured that the "high density" apartments would be worse, but not 140 times worse. If that's not an argument against Section 8, I dunno what is.
