Memphis using Section 8 vouchers moved out the underclass from central Memphis outwards. The crime and other societal dysfunction that plagues downtown Memphis moved out too destroying formerly working class and middle class neighborhoods.

This is true all over the country, but the American people don’t know that.
They do that in CA too. My friend bought a really nice house in a good neighborhood, then after the housing downturn, several houses in her neighborhood were rented out to section 8 from Oakland. Crime, drugs, burglaries and vandalism was soon the norm. They lost value on their house because of it so would have to take big loss to sell.
