I’ve noticed the demographics of my neighborhood here in MA change big time in the past 10 years.

Section 8 housing developments get pushed into nice quiet residential towns under a state law that mandates it, and before long the rot begins.

A few weeks ago I had to visit a town where I used to work. Most of the main street is boarded up now. I stopped in a convenience store because I needed something to drink and waited in line behind a man for whom English was obviously a second language. He was trying to buy lottery tickets with his EBT card and the cashier, for whom English was also obviously a second language, was trying to explain why he could not. His female companion, dressed in a way that would make Stormy Daniels nod in approval, stood by and watched as the baby in her stroller wailed.

I am pleased to remember what was, but saddened to see what's replaced it.

We are dealing with that in my neighborhood right now in Indiana. There is a big push to stop it.

Yea my town is determined to build hundreds of new apartments on top of the hundreds already built in the past few years.
Many.....most i’m sure will be section 8.
Apparently Norwood, the town i live in hasn’t quite reached the mandated ghetto requirements of the state of MA.

What gets me the most besides destroying my town is that they get to live in brand new accommodations for pennies on the dollar why i have to pay a mortgage, tax and insurance on a 60 year old house.
