Thousands Wait In Line For Subsidized Housing Applications (Chicago)
WBBM-TV ^ | August 14, 2013

We’ve seen signs the economy is improving, but in the Edgewater neighborhood today, we saw how many Chicagoans are struggling.

CBS’s 2 Jim Williams has the story in this original report.

It was a desperate attempt for a home: A line of thousands waited on Sheridan Road, north of Foster and around the corner.

Many, like Crystal Cooper, had been there all night.

And you gets a free Obamafone while you waits for your free housing....and free foodstamps....and free healthcare.

Things that cannot continue....won’t.

When people line up all night like this, what if they have to go to the bathroom?

Lazy people waiting in line for “free” stuff isn’t exactly a conclusive and exhaustive economic study. Doesn’t prove anything either way.

If they only put that much effort into actually finding a job.

My thought, exactly.

Then, I thought, "Mooching free stuff off people who work for a living, is their job."

“Thousands Wait In Line For Subsidized Housing Applications (Chicago)”

Ok - in NC, the NAACP said that it is not right to make people wait in line to get a valid ID.

No joke.

But for free housing? OH, HELL yeah.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that they needed to show ID to get the free housing.

standing in line for one day is one thing

actually working EVERY DAY for 8 hours per day . that is what is hard and why these cretins prefer to stay home all day every day and line up once in a while to receive more free crap from the government. they know all they have to do is stand in line one day , do that one “effort” and then they won't have to do anything for the rest of their lives , don't have to work ever again. it's like winning the lottery to these evil cretins

This is how we can win elections in “bad cities”. The day before the election, spread flyers all over town advertising free obamacash somewhere on election day. The ensuing riot when it is discovered there is no obama cash, will prevent the residents from voting 10 or 20 times each for the democrat.

Imagine if Dingus Supreme had a brain fart and one day declared will drill everywhere on public lands for Fracking Gas and Oil and we will have Job fairs and training in place of public housing slots...

Can you just imagine the positive effects...
