For the trolls in this thread:
I do not care if they are poor.
I do not care what color they are. In fact I never mentioned it, if you drew that conclusion you were the one making the leap that section 8 means black.
I do care that section 8 breads crime, and destroys surrounding property value, it has been proven is well known, and not open for debate. If the section 8 people of your own experience have been different, you are lucky, but the vast majority are not, section 8 moves in, the neighborhood gets trashed, crime goes through the roof, property values are destroyed, and all this breads even more section 8 until the neighborhood is turned in to a ghetto. It has been proven, and happens over, and over again. It's no coincidence that the ghetto has a high percentage of section 8, and the good areas have none.
Their is a reason I did not move to Detroit even though I could have literally got a house for $100. Their is a reason they can't even give houses away, it's a third world hell hole, their is a reason that I took great care not to move in to a ghetto, why I stayed up nights researching the crime rates of any area I was looking at, I do not want my neighborhood turning in to a ghetto.
Again I do not care if they are poor.
I do not care what color they are.
I do not want ghetto trash living next door to me, and I do not want my neighborhood turned in to a ghetto, why should I have to move when I did nothing wrong? Why should I have to sell my house for pennies on the dollar just because of my absentee landlord "neighbor" who decided it was OK to destroy the neighborhood, my property value, and inflict a crime wave on us all just for a government check? It took this guy about 2 months just to realize his last tenants moved apparently, and now it looks like he wants the section 8 "easy money" at the cost of the rest of us, funny how he doesn't live here.
If you think section 8 is so great, why don't you try living next to one? Somehow I don't think I'll get many volunteers.
