John's correct as far as he goes, but there are many more problems associated with the ongoing Section 8 fiasco.

In a word: Crime.

Planting the looters among the productive people increases dramatically the opportunity for looting some of that nice stuff from people who earned it. No wonder gun sales are through the roof.

Grandma had a saying: If you put two kids together to play, one clean and the other dirty, you don't end up with two clean kids. You get two dirty kids.

It was a reasonable idea. But, as always, there were unintended consequences.


As usual my tagline says it all.

Section 8 vouchers do nothing but pollute good neighborhoods, schools and commerce, largely resulting in increased crime, drugs and corruption of the young.


They also completely destroy the value of any property within sight of a Section 8 animal container.
