More and more apartments are accepting the Section 8 vouchers. Even the nicer ones. I am seeing a huge change in population where I live. Last time I saw this I sold the house and moved in 1991. the old area is gang ridden now. I am afraid Hermitage, TN is soon to be like Antioch.
Re: Section 8
Also true in my town.
I live east of Seattle, in a moderately priced apartment right next to a very affluent area.
Several of the apartment houses in this area now accept Section 8.
The news gets worse - banks now receive a substantial tax credit for loaning money to build low income housing.
Bingo - a 250 unit low income apartment is now being built 1 block away.
Still worse - the ultra-Leftist downtown church in my area has sold its property to a condo developer.
It is moving its homeless shelter and women’s shelter just two blocks away.
I was hoping to live here until I got too old to take care of myself - perfect location, grocery stores, upscale mall, bus transit center, medical center, all within easy walking distance.
Nope - looks like I’ll have to make a run for it.
