B’more county ping, hon.
I also foresee the test scores in those neighborhoods dropping dramatically and crime skyrocketing.
Now, in this Obamanation, where equality of outcome is required, all can be plagued by gang violence.
What they are talking about is building, purchasing or coercing owners of homes in those areas to allow Section 8 ‘renters’. The city/county has to buy or build them and become landlords themselves, or coerce a free owner somehow to rent.
Section 8 isn’t just some magic that happens; it is an obtrusive, overbearing system of BS that automatically puts it on the owner to comport with all US housing regulations and codes, at their expense even before joining the program. The owner has to willingly accept all their terms. Usually the government computes what the ‘renter’ pays (after paying the lion’s share of the rent to start with) from some dumbass formula like 25% of their ‘spendable income’ - I believe income isn’t SNAP, WICs, TANF etc. - may part of their EITC booty each year). Overall, they pay a pittance, the government pays the rest.
When they get short on smokes, lotto and dope cash they start ripping out plumbing fixtures, appliances, copper plumbing, copper wiring, light fixtures, doors, anything they can sell. The owner is often left with a gutted out house when they finally can convict them for not even paying their $50 or so share of the rent each month. This story is repeated over and over and over again, and when that blight hits a neighborhood, decent people up and move.
In a state with strong 2nd Amendment protections and a broad Castle Doctrine, this could work. Maybe you could call this federal program, “Behave or Get Shot.” In Maryland, not so much.
The Obamassiah might be able to use force to move the low income residents in to those areas... but can't do anything to stop existing residents from moving out. Which one might consider if they live in Baltimore County...
“You vil surrender evfry tenth house in your ghetto...er...neighborhood to the poor. Vee will make accommodations in our local gulag for the displaced rich peoples. You vil be quite comfortable there.”
Talk about black privilege, having the government build you a home based on your race.
The crime that follows this program is incontestable.
Does anyone think the huge amount of section 8 housing in Southern California has anything to do with illegal immigration?
So elderly, frail old women will be forced to live alongside street thugs. When the women are assaulted, robbed and raped, no one in the media will reference this latest action by the government.
Great. Reverse gentrification.
Baltimore already has miles of streets with boarded up houses that have zero economic value.
I lived in a very charming Baltimore neighborhood 20+ years ago. The city was already cash strapped because the demand on services outran the tax base. People had moved out of the city proper in droves.
This would only make the problem much worse.
Might be a great opportunity to convert some Libertards to normal Americans.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Baltimore City has been quietly renting out housing in other Maryland counties for section 8 families. One of the issues has been, that the families thrown into middle class neighborhoods are not happy there. They miss the city, and feel uncomfortable around middle class people. Some stay and adapt, others abandon the program and move back to the ghettos. This is exactly what happens all over the world... and what Europe is facing. People falsely assume this has to do with race... it’s a culture of victimhood and lower SES. These people have to be culturally integrated... both white and black families that have been moved find it very difficult to assimilate.
This will end in tears and loss. It is akin to stomping on a grease fire.
