If you need assistance for housing, you don't need to have an expensive habit/addiction.
Good luck enforcing that.
Its about govt control over what people do where they live, its not about health or finances.
Its setting precedents. So they can get future precedents to limit and ban more things you can do.
They want to expand it so they can control more in places they don’t own.
The govt hands out gobs of money to people that dont even live here and will keep doimg so, they dont care about the money.
Don’t want the government telling you what to do, don’t take their money.
When you suckle at the government teat just remember...they get to make the rules. You want a free ride? Be prepared to pay the piper.
Plenty of people do without all but the necessities expressly so they can afford to pay for a home of their own. If you can afford cigarettes, recreational drugs, i-Phones, 3-figure Nike sneakers, hair weaves, tattoos, or having children with someone with whom you do not co-habitate, you shouldn’t be eligible for government-assisted housing.
But, pot and meth and all that rot is OK... (spit)
yes all hail the tyrannical bureaucracy!
just remember as the green new deal is pushed down our throats public housing will become much more common
as people will increasingly not be able to afford the new green energy
always stay on the side of freedom whether you agree with what people do with that freedom or not
I have mixed feelings about this.
The “addiction” is not going away—residents will either violate the rules or just go to places where they can smoke.
The government approach “we are doing this to you for your own good” is a super-dangerous slippery slope.
Example—should “crazy right wing conspiracy theorists” be banned from public housing if they post things on the Internet that .gov does not approve?
If you do not have ownership (property rights) you do not have smoker’s rights.
If you want to smoke inside, buy your own house.
On my walks in San Francisco, I occasionally pass by public housing complexes. A near-permanent feature is the stench of marijuana smoke wafting from the open windows. If any sort of smoking ban is being enforced there, it’s apparently only applicable to tobacco.
Hey, as long as meth and pot smoking is still okay, all is hunky dory. 🤪
How is this not racist in the same way as the law outlawing menthol cigarettes?
It is getting tougher to be Kool. /ha ha
BTW - wasn’t 0bama living in public housing for 8 years and lighting up?
Feel the same way about firearms ownership?
guns are next
There’s your actual systemic racism…
pot too???
Once your rights come from the government, they can be taken away by the government.
The goal of our dictators is that everyone will be beholden to the government for their housing, food, and health care, not just the “poor”. What they provide one day, they can take away the next, especially if they do not like your voting history.
People can cheer this decision, but what if the government next decides that only CNN or MSNBC can be played in government housing projects. After all, it’s for their health.
I thought all the cool kids switched to vaping.
When the ‘rats and their buds in the WEF gain complete control we’ll all be in Public Housing and they will ban not only smoking but motor vehicles, firearms, drinking, cook-outs, and sexual relations between males and females!
