Says you.

There is a subdivision in North St. Louis County, Missouri named Barrington Downs. It was an upscale subdivision with houses in the $300,000 range in the 1980s. Then they government decided to move in deserving Section 8 drug dealers. Now they go for $75,000.

Ding ding ding

You just proved my point

“Then they government decided to move in .....”

Free markets and government out of the housing market, that would have never happened.

The government made it happen

I have a feeling the people who made that decision owned the land that the project was being built on. They probably bought it for 10K and sold it to Uncle Sucker for 1 million bucks.... That is how it works now.

The ‘projects’ were their to help the poor, they were their to help the connected get even more rich. If a handful of poor people ended up getting a place to live, that was the side effect, not the goal.
