My give a damn is broken on this one.
The frightening part is the raft of ordinances on a local level about “income discrimination”.
They are trying to say landlords cannot discriminate against tenants based on source of income, AKA, if they have low income but section 8, you are legally required to accept the tenant’s section 8 income.
Various landlord and property owner associations are fighting it, because Section 8 is a government program subject to extra checks and paperwork - and voluntary.
The ordinances come dangerously close to “landlords have to join section 8 program and rent to people in that program”.
