Two fellows in the neighborhood, both good hearted people wanting to help folks out, rented their homes to poor people under Section 8.
Both had their homes wrecked.
In one case one of the "visitors" had shot a hole in the roof one night, and in the other case the family of 12 was actually a family of 15, with "older members" who were professional burglars.
Those guys wrecked my window screens trying to break in.
This is why Section 8 landlords have bailed out.
Our plan is that the next neighbor to even think about it will be quickly kidnapped and shipped back to his own home country where he can be reminded what it was he didn't like about people who do not respect law nor person.
BTW, just about everybody here is an immigrant, so they know the deal.
My wife ran an apartment complex which accepted Section 8.
It was rediculous. Forgive my ire, but it struck me as odd that here were people who were living in $600 a month apartments (paid for in varying degrees by Uncle Sam) who had SUV's, Big Screen TV's, and various other examples of what we'd call luxuries.
And of course there were some, probably 1/3 of the population, who pretty much figured they weren't paying for it, so who gave a crap what condition it was in when they left.
Ay, the stories she can tell...
