Is this the same section 8 that is used to ruin older suburban neighborhoods when an aprtment complex starts taking section 8 rent vouchers from the government? We have one of these travisties in one corner of my town. The 35 year old, approximately 100 unit, apartment complex started taking section 8 vouchers almost 2 years ago. They also limited the income of the renters. No single person who makes over $17,000/year need apply. If you listen carefully on a quiet day, you can hear the property values of the surrounding homeowners drop.
Let's see...move out the people with decent incomes, replace them with people making about minimum wage (and refuse to renew their lease if they get a raise) and add a bunch of rent-subsidized trash. Gee, what a great idea! Since this happened, a friend of mine who bought a house near there a few years ago has seen his area go from almost crime free to having his car and garage broken into every few months.
