Some things need to be said about the mob that showed up to glom some applications for Section 8 welfare housing in East Point this week, and I’m your guy — the (ahem) author of The New York Times best-seller “Somebody’s Gotta Say It.”
My experience with these Section 8 “clients” goes back to the mid-1970s when I had a law office at the First National Bank building in Decatur. It was my misfortune to occupy an office down the hall from the Decatur Housing Authority. Being a quick learner, I figured out I needed to be somewhere else on days the authority was accepting applications for Section 8 housing. The hallways would fill early with ... we’ll call them “applicants,” just to be nice.
After experiencing that unruly mob, I wasn’t stunned to learn of the behavior of the East Point Section 8 crowd.
(Excerpt) Read more at ajc.com ...
People that have no problem taking stuff from others. And the government is there to aid & abet them.
The sad thing is that roughly 30,000 people (whatever the number really was) had nothing better to do.
Also, if you want to petition the mods, the link should be ajc.com, not agc.com (but your link works).
You are also welcome to refer to it as the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation — a subscription to which I cancelled several happy years ago.
A lot of these Sec 8’s are returning to this particular dole after losing their sub-prime mortgaged homes to the evil banks. Obama’s stash just couldn’t support all those $325/month mortgage payments.
Jesse Jackson is fixin to stir the Detrou section 8 crowd later this month. He’s doing it on the same day as the Beck/Palin event in DC and calling it a similar name.

Have some Section 8 “clients” (apt term Section 8.....) in apratment complex where I live
Belong to the FD - strange that all the apartment fires seem to be in those inhabited by Section 8
Things like leaving stove on, not watching when cooking
so grease boils over, emptying ash tray in garbage with
still smouldering cigarettes
There are animals.....
That’s interesting....here in Mich they did the same thing. They tore down & are still tearing down the projects in Detroit & all the low incomers & section 8’rs are moving into the area suburbs. We regular owners & renters have been told by our communities that in & between regular priced rentals & homes that there must be inserted low income available units & housing.
The slogan being used to get the people out of Detroit is “you can get the same deal out in the suburbs plus a nicer place to live”.
...hmmm.
“I delight in irritating the left by dividing Americans into three basic groups: The producers, the looters and the moochers. What you saw this week was the moocher class accepting applications from the looters for benefits to be paid for by the producers. The looters will be all too happy to use the police power of government to seize wealth from the producers for the benefit of the moochers, if the moochers will remember the looters on voting day.
Did you get a good look at these people gathered for their chance at plunder? They had their tattoos, to be sure, and they had the cigarettes, the cell phones. They had the hairdos and the fancy nails — oh, and the babies. What is a Section 8 application party without the babies? (What is it about our society that we seem to find nothing wrong with a woman making the decision to have a baby she cannot afford to raise?) They had all the goodies but couldn’t seem to find the money for a place to live.”
I have personal experience of 1 (one) Section 8 tenant, and 100% of that sample was a baby production machine - different fathers of course!
Section 8 tenants were the reason I got out of the landlord business. Dope selling, stay-at-home-mom whoring while hubby was at work, knock-down drag-out fights over who gets the last “line”...
And those were the good ones! What an overall PITA!
But, for how long will it be "nicer"?
All I can say is UGH!
will be nicer, until they realize they need a car to get everywhere. Whats going to happen then? Bus service in the suburbs? Car and gas vouchers? Seems as though this is not well thought out. Most poor folks living in the cities are not car owners, they usually walk, take the bus, or the subway. The same price but only nicer is going to be a rude awakening with car payments, auto maintenance and repair, insurance, gas, oil changes, and more without the help of government subsidies (low cost or free tokens for the subway/buses) etc.
Unintended consequences?
Somehow, I don’t think it’ll have the same turnout. ;)
Not long my FRiend! Its heartbreaking to see the once beautiful neighborhoods now looking like the slums...
Just wait ‘til they run out of food!
...until they realize they need a car to get everywhere.
##############
It doesn’t seem to bother them enough. They are moving out here by the droves...
Nice list of coconspirators anyway.
