In my area many houses have been on the market for a long time, but when they do get sold, they are shortly turned into rentals and end up being occupied by “Section Eight” subsidized renters, which will eventually destroy whole neighborhoods.
There is NO question at all that if you live in a sub division where there are Section 8 voucher inhabitants you should have moved YESTERDAY. There is no good that will come from having slugs living near you. None whatsoever.
