Well, as a landlord you can choose to avoid buying properties in areas where the laws are skewed in favor of renters but those tend to be the areas where you can charge higher rents too.

Gee. I wonder what the ethnic/racial demographics might be at the Meadowlands Apartments?

Yep. Apartments have to be very careful about how many low-income tenants they accept. Too many and paying customers won’t touch the place.

One of my colleagues thought he was going to be an urban pioneer and moved into a beautiful, new, high-end apartment/condo complex near the downtown area. There was a mandated set-aside for Section 8.

Colleague (uber lefty) ended up in an apartment above the Section 8 tenants - said they played thumping music 24/7, threw garbage and other things out of the windows, screamed constantly and the police were there a lot. He was able to escape and was grateful he hadn’t bought one of the units as was his original plan. My guess is the building is now ALL Section 8 - and destroyed.

I think that sort of information, is one of the things we aren’t allowed to talk about.

‘We’ve messed up’: City, property manager says, “but at least it was YOUR money we wasted, hardy-har-har, and we got paid doing it so, hardy-har-har some more.”

“There was a mandated set-aside for Section 8.”

All it takes is one sweet black grandma—just one.

That is why you should never buy anything in a building with even one Section 8 tenant.

Happens everywhere section 8 is built. Everywhere.

I call section 8 housing INCUBATORS.

They hint at the cause of the problem, but don’t highlight it.

They can’t get rid (evict) trouble makers because the city ordinances make it almost impossible to do so!

It's funny how do-gooders move these people around to get them out of high-crime areas, as if criminal behavior is caused by location or architecture.

The crime mysteriously follows them wherever they go. The Atlantic inadvertently published a story about this phenomenon in Memphis. They spent years disavowing the article's obvious conclusion and demonizing the authors.

“these older grandmothers are enabling the bad behavior and downward spiral in the lives of the grandchildren.

They want to be helpful, but those kids really need some form of tough love, not enabling”

The kind of “tough love” some of these kids need is called “child abuse” by the authorities.

In addition grandma’s hands are tied—sometimes literally. In some cases the kid or their friends may even hold her hostage and/or threaten her life. By the time she realizes her mistake it is too late....

Certainly that, but also IMO - hope.

The Left and its useful idiots the Dems, does a good job convincing them whites are stealing their chances for hope. At the same time the predominately Dem-operated educational system, fails to prepare them to compete in the marketplace.

And so, the tension, dissatisfaction, unrest and in some inner cities the chaos continue.

Shhhh. That isn't nice.

Darwin was too but we have managed to mangle that premise as well.

I watched the video of the story and the only ones at the meeting were middle-aged white women.

The troublemakers probably didn’t bother with it. ;)
