Section 8 is being cut? Good.
But what is being done about the HUD home ownership program? Bush administration implemented that, and now my folks have to live next to ex-cons and drug addicts who "own" their home (subsidized by taxpayers) and cannot be kicked out, even when they harrass their neighbors.
I'm waiting for that to be cut.
Oh, that's easy.
Call the cops. Be a PITA by calling them daily to complain about the traffic and the noise.
Take pictures, especially of license plates.
Make sure you write the media how the cops seem to be ignoring certain areas of the city.

In Maryland you have to live in a expensive neighborhood or this type of thing will happen. It only takes a couple of bad neighbors to destroy a neighborhood(the parents are scared of their kids.) In MD, housing values are doubling every few years, yet some neighborhoods have decreasing property values. Bush thinks that owning a home changes losers to responsible home-owners but that is simplistic liberal thinking. Worse, we have affordable housing initiatives pushed on the developers by the county.
