My conclusion that this multi-family expansion is mainly due to Section 8 Housing, the name eschewed by the government in favor of ‘housing vouchers’...
It is the modern day replacement for LBJs Great Society aftermath where the government made every local in the country create ‘government housing’ - the projects.
These projects - public housing - have largely been abandoned to more effectively disperse the lowlifes to where worthwhile people live. The tenant pays 25% of their spendable income (not a whole hell of a lot for a loser on EBT, TANF, EITC, WICs, etc. - not taxable and doesn’t count), the government picks up the rest of the rent.
Obama has upped the ante, and just created more public housing, but we can’t call it that...the single family housing recovery IS NOT.

Ahhh, it is a relief to encounter another individual with the correct interpretation of things. More correct you could not be.
As we allow the section 8 recipients to fan out into the suburbs (in the name of equality and equal opportunity, of course), leaving behind the smoldering ruins of rundown apartment complexes in the urban areas, we are merely handing off the older suburban complexes to the new wave of entitlement recipients. The working class flee to the newer and more refined locales to escape the influx of urban refugees. It is a cycle that has been repeating for the past 50 years and will continue - the cost just increases with each turn.
