Section 8 coming soon to (ruin) a nice community near you.

I’m sure all the pols in favor of this won’t mind low-income housing next to their homes, so let them start with their neighborhoods.

Isn’t this what used to be called “Block busting” back in the 1950s and 1960s?
Realtors would sell a home to a black couple in a white neighborhood, decreases property values, causes whites to flee and the realtors snap up the houses at very low prices for resale to the blacks.

I remember some nice neighborhoods that went from nice to slums almost overnight.

We got one recently in our working class neighborhoods. Fortunately, we raised enough of a fuss about it that they decided to go ahead and build it with the restriction that it be limited to residents age 55 or older.
