/src on/If you like you community, you can keep your community/src off/. Obama wants to destroy middle class neighborhoods by importing dysfunctional mostly single parent families. It only takes a few bad apples to ruin the whole barrel. This type of program was tried in Memphis, TN. What was the result? The people who moved out of downtown Memphis destroyed the outlying areas they moved to. People with the means have the right to live in safe neighborhoods not overrun with feral children from dysfunctional single parent households. How about building an apartment complex with Section 8 people next to the Clinton mansion in Westchester, NY or Jeremiah Wright's retirement mansion?

So he wants it to suck everywhere. That's communist equality in a nutshell.

[SandRat]

Yep, like a good Marxist.

[amnestynone]

On the other hand these people are the wealthy ones who are supporting amnesty and whose lying lib media elected Obama. It would almost serve them right. Okay I said almost.

[MeshugeMikey]

this “move” has been hinted at for years ....6 of them.... if I remember correctly.

I’ll be OK out here on the farm. Well, until 0bama FORCES me to allow The Homeless Crazies to set up an encampment.

This POS cannot be gone soon enough for me. Come on! Just ONE well-placed lightening strike while he’s golfing is ALL we’re asking for! ;)

What is the predictable end result of such policies?

Unfortunately, if you get too many “Section 8” or “ghetto” types in an neighborhood, the neighborhood goes downhill.

And those who can will move away, leaving more vacant housing to be filled by more Section 8 people. Which will cause the neighborhood to go further downhill.

I’ve seen this happen in a number of formerly nice suburban areas in some major cities. I go back to visit, and am shocked to see that formerly nice areas have gone ghetto.

So what this means is that the decent people who want to live in a nice area will have to pay much more for housing to be in a safe wealthier area, or will have to move much farther out into more distant suburbs to find a safe place to live.

Have a nice house or a few acres of property? You will be made to “share”.

[yetidog]

HUD has done this for a while. I think the Woodlands in Texas has section 8; they are presently building such housing in an upscale community where I live. Developers love it, but residents not so much.

By the way, I have had very adversarial dealings with HUD in the past....corrupt and incompetent as they come. Don’t get me started.

[Mr. K]

Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and Certain sections of Washington DC are woefully lacking in Section 8 housing!

I suggest you get onto fixing that right now.

[Georgia Girl 2]

How about Section 8 next to Obamas vacation palace in Hawaii?

It’s called money. Pay up or shut up.

I’m sure this will work as well as forced busing for public schools.

Is the objective here to allow whites to participate in the same safe and secure neighborhoods that blacks enjoy?

Or is this intended boost the economy by encouraging new home construction for the next wave of white flight?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I would not mind flooding section 8 people into Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Los Angeles, California. Those people have been too long isolated from the consequences of their liberal policies foisted upon the rest of us.

[VanShuyten]

Westchester already has HUD housing problems:

A half mile from the Clintons’ house.

(And the people in the houses) All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Under LBJ's Great Society America has been there, done that, and watched it fail under the weight of rules & regs. and government waste!

[Rusty0604]

They already force lenders to give credit to minorities that don’t qualify so they won’t be sued for discrimination.

[Iron Munro]

White privlege must cease!

All minorities have a right to free McMansions.

It’s right there in the constitution for the United States of Barackistan.

Why should some people have better housing just because they have jobs and businesses and work to earn their own money?

Here in Massachusetts, we have the infamous "group homes." You can usually tell them apart form the ordinary homes because the garages have been converted by the slumlords who own them into living space so that they can make more money from rent paid vis a vis welfare. These group homes are also tax exempt. If the neighbors bitch enough when blight starts to occur, the local authorities might do code enforcement if they don't want to lose their tax-paying residents to the free riders. It is a case of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." But sometimes the local authorities are themselves part of the problem and that is how crapholes like Detroit come into existence.

Since cities have been the usual dumping grounds for these potential "dumps," the government-sponsored slumlords are looking to "gentrify" their racket by moving their group homes into the upscale suburbs where it is potentially possible to own an upscale home tax free. After they have trashed the property values of the neighborhood, they can buy more property in the same neighborhood at new lower prices and turn them into tax free group homes as well......and the beat goes on.

Granted disabled people have to have a place to live, and I don't have a hard time with group homes for people with disabilities like autism, etc. as long as there is 24-hour supervision.

What I have a problem with is group homes for druggies and ex cons - particularly when they are located right next to schools where there are young children attending.

BTW, the people in the neighborhood do not have to be informed when a group home is being established nearby.

Straw dog to implement a plan that has the Fedzilla picking winners and losers, extorting anyone, bribing anyone.
