Near here, there is some "revitalization" that had a wrench tossed into it courtesy a socialist city government and the interfering hand of fedgov (HUD): the trendy remodeled "loft" apartments were meant for upscale young professionals (with gay friendliness implied craftily... though unintentionally also comically), but because there was some tax money involved, "X" number of units were mandated Section 8. Did THAT ever make the crony capitalists uncomfortable, as it impacted their income yet they couldn't say a damned thing without being un-PC. So far, the cops and the courts have managed to wallpaper over the troubles, but the shadow inches closer as the months go by.

My experience with Section 8 housing was less than optimal. Lived in an apt complex right after college. Nothing special, lower middle class, blue collar, but adequate and safe. Typical 20-something bachelor pad.
Then the apt complex went section 8. Literally within weeks, it was dammed near uninhabitable. I couldn't break my lease and get out quickly enough.
In my area the hives being built for childless American worker drones are required to have Section 8 units set aside; PC has nothing to do with it. As the ghettoes run out of money there is a desperate search for suburban hosts that can house, clothe, and feed the gibsmedats - but most importantly, to pay the teachers and emergency responders those slums can no longer afford. These don’t tend to destroy “white neighborhoods” because as the white population shrinks (due to a negative birthrate and flight to greener pastures) these areas are increasingly Asian and Hispanic anyway.
