/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.

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.

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.

Let’s build public housing in Marin County, California; and Malibu. And Beverly Hills.

If it’s such a good idea, then surely those liberal communities would welcome some diversity.

[Paine in the Neck]

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.

I hear Singapore is nice.

He won’t get your land...yet. But better watch your water.

The assault on meritocracy is at full tilt. Most of those who live in the high-value housing areas are there because through inheritance or some merit of their own, they have gained the measure of worldly goods to afford to live there.

Rank Has Its Privileges, or RHIP, has been a recognized demarcation between members of the human species since well before there even WERE creatures that could termed “human” in the modern sense.

There won't be anyplace people can move to stay safe. Obama's HUD will target all areas.

[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.

If that happens, then I predict a spike in interest in farm life. Seriously. If even the wealthy areas are going to be overrun with gangs and Section 8 and baby mama types, more people might want to go buy a farm, where they are surrounded by their own land, and will only go into town when absolutely necessary. Rural life could well hold more appeal if this social engineering happens.

[SoCal Pubbie]

That sounds like a nice little jingle. Sing it with me now:

“Like a good Marxist, Animal Farm is there!”

[Georgia Girl 2]

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

“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.”

The GOP Congress could and should defund HUD. However, they won’t. Too many billions being doled out to contractors. Plus fear of the racism charge.
