The reason I posted this was that I found it interesting since I’ve seen it first hand years ago in Boston.

I grew up in Roslindale, a town in Boston that was mainly working middle class families.

Then section 8 started moving into the 3 family homes on the street and things went down hill fast, this was in the early 90’s.

Thanks government!

They use it as a weapon in our county. Dare to incorporate as a city to avoid the usurious tax levels and lack of service? Bang, Section 8 and Crapitat for Humanity for you.

This was the way Section 8 was supposed to work. It was supposed to affect lower-middle and middle class communities. It’s advocates actually believe it will help raise the consciousness of the middle class to be exposed to minorities. Of course it doesn’t work out that way.

Section 8 was NOT intended to move inner city folks out to really nice suburbs like Antioch that have enough money to hire police to deal with the problem.
