Concur. My neighborhood is diverse in race, ethnicity, and work sectors. What it is not diverse in is economic level. Despite being that diverse we had a group of punks prowling cars the other night that all come from the Section 8 housing a couple miles down the road. The local PD did a good job of rounding a couple of them up, one of which was armed with a pistol (underage). They will get the others based upon examination of their cell phone traffic.

The last thing anybody in this neighborhood wants is those section 8 criminals living amongst us. We all squeak by trying to pay for houses while the government throws money down a bottomless hole of welfare.

Glad your PD captured them. We have the same thing in our nice community — “friends” from Oakland and East San Jose come here for their trades.

I suspect they go through the rapidly revolving door at the courthouse and get right back to “work.”

One thing such a policy would do is drive a stake through the heart of the already-faltering housing market; who would buy a home for more than $10K if a zoo (with no cages) can be re-located next door/down the street? They try to frame it in terms of race, but I don’t want to live around Section 8 whites either.

People of means, increasingly childless anyway, will simply rent and flee when the gibsmedats are turned loose (or their jobs move).
