I used to know this realtor that owned Section 8 properties, and a few times she paid me to go in and clean them out after someone got evicted. That video, while horrible, doesn't even scratch the surface of what I saw when I did that.

rent one out to sec 8, then you're see a few more 8 or other rentals. Now every damn house around there is worth thousands less, as the neighborhood has turned into a ghetto.

Wow. So .gov pays over a grand for this woman to live there, all she has to pay are her utilities and $53, and she gets to live in a very nice home? And she couldn't keep the fucking place clean?
So does the .gov reimburse the homeowner for the repairs or what? |

I’m not suggesting that I have a solution for the housing needs of people who are less fortunate but whatever the government is doing isn’t working! I do have a solution for the housing needs of "less fortunate" people. Quit giving them free housing. We have ample proof of what happens when you give handouts so quit enabling bad behavior. They get free housing, food stamps, free breakfast, lunch and after school snack all tax free and all we hear on the news from bleeding heart reporters is all about the hunger crisis in America. Fuck 'em. Being hungry and cold is a hell of a motivator. It's hard to feel sorry for a landlord who snatched the .gov guaranteed rent check and ended up getting screwed. |

One of my fears is that when I finally buy a house, one of my idiot neighbors is going to rent to section 8ers. My God would that piss me off.
The subdivision outside of my apartment complex has very obviously been renting out to a number of people on section 8, and it shows. It seems that neglected yards, pit bulls, and who hoopties go hand in hand. |

Ok....what the flying fuck. I work my ass off but still can only afford a small cramped apartment to live in for my daughter and me which then leaves me very little wiggle room to afford anything else and this P.O.S. doesn't work and gets to move into a beautiful home like that for $53/Month? What the fuck!? So basically I am paying taxes to ensure someone who doesn't work gets to live better than me? It's all fucking backwards! |

I have a long horror story about a former neighbor dying and willing their house to a son who rented it out to Section 8. Turned a nice neighborhood into a ghetto in three years and costs me tens of thousands to get away from. Some people here hate HOAs but I will no longer buy in a neighborhood without one that forbids rentals after that. |

I cant say I feel sorry for him. He should have known better than to rent out to sec 8 savages. I bet his neighbors were thrilled with it too. Im so happy that I have older single men on both sides of me. One side has a disabled man and the landlord is meticulous about keeping the place up, the guy on the other side could cut his grass more often but overall is not a problem. I hope the sec 8'rs never get a foothold in my 'hood.

I watched the whole thing.
The explanation was that the neighborhood turned to shit in the crash - he paid 200k, and the foreclosures around him were selling for 14k. The nightly gunfights scared them, and they moved to a rental... Who did he THINK would move in to a place he was afraid to sleep in? Section 8. Bringing the Ghetto to the suburbs... . |

It is late so bear with me. Read slow as I try to lay this out as simply as I can. You are only invested in something when the threat of loss becomes substantial enough to jeopardize your comfort level. The song', "I owe, I owe, off to work I go", reluctantly sung and for all, requires some degree of suffering or sacrifice, BUT FOR COMFORT we do. Suffering and/or sacrifice motivates us to remain engaged in this pursuit of comfort-a goal we all share on many levels. We all have different comfort levels and much of this is shaped by what we tolerate or have learned to tolerate by escaping some degree of suffering or discomfort. We all can be lazy at times! I simplify this for the simple reason of explaining my point, and can be demonstrated on many levels of the human experience. This escape of suffering/discomfort on a human level is in all of us, but, here is the kicker, can also taught, enabled, parented, systematically and governmentally supported, and politicized just to name a few conditions. I like to sum up human behavior like this: We will do ANYTHING to escape pain, discomfort or death, even if it requires us to die, which is paradoxical. I am reminded of the tragedy of 911 and how people jumped from 20 story buildings to escape being burnt ALIVE. The reality of knowing you are going to die and choosing to jump out of a burning building, but for even for a second of more life, yielded a greater level of comfort. It is human nature. Now, how does this work into understanding this video? I can talk for hours on this but in a nut shell. "Free stuff" (someone is always paying for it in one way or another) requires no real investment of suffering/discomfort/sacrifice. In the final analysis, there is NO LOSS if taken away and it BECOMES the SACRIFICE at someone else's cost, especially when one can get it free again. The reality of a loss happens ONLY when there is a THREAT to removing the Modus operandi of "free". I can go further in my diatribe of the implications this has on "the people" and the survivability of the power in charge of "the people", but I will not. It should be obvious to all how this can get out of hand and purposely so of those in charge of "the people".

I met a retired guy a while ago who owns several properties that he rents section 8. He has sons in the trades who can do carpentry, plumbing, electric, painting etc. He told me that every time they lose a tenant, they pretty much have to re-do the place but the guaranteed rental money from the government makes it worth it.
He buys run down piece-of-shit buildings, does a quick rehab using cheap cabinets, appliances, carpet and rents them out. He says he makes good money. I would find it too depressing I think. |

Yep, other then one female who had a scumbag BF move in and decided to rebuild a auto transmission in the living room [yeah, you don't get back your deposit for ATF staining and ruining the carpet] I had long term stable tenants who didn't destroy the place. 8ers on the other hand, 99% loser scum with loser friends and relatives. They are section 8 for a reason. Having a "no 8ers ever" policy means it's a lot harder for those FSA losers to claim you are discriminating against them. Race, color, sex, didn't matter as no 8ers allowed and all were treated equally. |

I live in a small Spanish town 35 miles west of Philly in the burbs. When I bought my property (commercial garage) the town was predominately white. As people moved out it became a Spanish town. Next to my garage is a double house that was bought by a Spanish gentleman who buys properties and only rents to section 8.
The first family to move in the half of the house next to me had a couple there three children and their daughters boyfriend. They paid less that $200 a month the state picked up the other $650 a month. One day I was working in my shop and several black Suburbans with ICE written on the doors and local police pulled up. They were looking for the daughters boyfriend on felony charges. They eventually caught him and away he went. The family was forced to move. When they moved they took a truck load of mattresses with them. What they do is rent the mattresses out for $100 a week. to illegals. The father in the family didn't work. He didn't have to. Six to eight mattresses at $100 a week you do the math. Now the other side of that house is rented out to section 8. They run a day care that operates from 6 am till 11 pm. Its the American way |
