“We are talking about Lancaster-Palmdale, who in their right mind would live there if they were not subsidized? “
When I was in the service I was forced to live there because there was no room on base.
The story of that area is this: It was a sleepy-ish area with some crazy growth in the late 80’s. In the early 90s the aerospace business fell off dramatically, leaving a lot of homes empty, or abandoned. Cue the LA Riots.
They moved those very folks up there after that into some otherwise quiet neighborhoods that happened to have a couple of distressed properties. It was all over but the extrapolation at that point.
Imagine this: You work, commute 70 miles to work and back, when you get home, your section 8 neighbor, living in the same exact house as you is drinking beer sitting in a lawn chair on the front lawn. Those used to be YOUR lawn chairs in your backyard but you didn’t lock them up the night before.....

Who in the Justice Department ordered this and what gives them the right?
What percentage of black counts? Is it the same as for Indians? ;-)

I was gonna post to Free Republic
But then I got high...
Both Palmdale and Lancaster USED to be nice, clean, safe cities. I remember going out there with my dad to check on rental properties. It is now a filthy, dangerous ghetto and getting worse— started when Section 8 came in...
Wonder if there’s any correlation?

To the Philippines. Every time I go there, I don't want to come back, so the next time I go, I won't.
