The Democrats Finally Won the Suburbs. Now Will They Destroy Them?
The Daily Beast ^ | January 12, 2019 | Joel Kotkin

The Democratic Party’s triumphal romp through suburbia was the big story of the midterms.

In 2016 the suburbs, home to the majority of American voters, voted 50 to 45 for Donald Trump; this year, 52 percent went Democratic. In affluent suburban districts once controlled by the GOP—outside Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, Kansas City and Philadelphia, and in Orange County, California—long-held GOP seats flipped and are unlikely to flip back unless Democrats alienate their new constituents by seeking to destroy suburban life.

I have total faith that it will happen. When you figure in the number of county sheriffs offices that were flipped its almost a guarantee!

Obama had ordered HUD to force high-density Section 8 housing into the suburbs. IMO that was a naked power play to bust-up solidly red voting districts.

Trump put a stop to it. Evidently Suburbanites must want that because they put his enemies back in charge of the House.

The Marxist didn’t win anything. Their organized voter fraud stole it.

At least half of the 40, were Rhino surrenders, who didn’t want to be tainted by Trump.

“Obama had ordered HUD to force high-density Section 8 housing into the suburbs.”


Everyone’s worst fear——(and I grew up poor——but prior to Section 8).

We lived where we could afford to live——and then worked our butts off to get into affluent suburbs.

That’s the way it was done.

Yup. Here in the western burbs of Minneapolis, Eden Prairie and Chaska, as well as others, are being inundated with somalis in new huge apartment complexes.

Exactly!

People move to the suburbs because they don’t want to live in cities and all the bad in them. So they vote Rat to do the same to the suburbs. Most people can’t connect the dots very well. Fools.

I’m a landlord in the USA. I was ordered to make my units available to section 8 housing. Having had a few section 8ers, I knew that, without fail, they destroy the unit.

So I made sure my units flunked inspection.

And then I could rent to normal people who work for a living.

Ordered by whom?

I know little about Section 8 and always assumed it was a landlord choice in order to get guaranteed rent payment.

Same thing happened in 2006. The Dems recruited a bunch of allegedly moderate candidates, many with military backgrounds. But the leadership forced them to vote a straight liberal line. So, most were gone by 2010.

Here, a so-called moderate with military service took Mike Coffman's seat. Even said he didn't want Pelosi as Speaker. Uh, huh. We're already seeing his true colors.

Some welfare government org. NYC.

I’d actually get more money via the gubmint but I’d rather take less and have human tenants.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He DESPISED them.

You can NOT use Marx’s ideas to help the middle class or Capitalism.

But you middle class Marxists just LOVE your Socialism. :)

Landlords Forced to Accept Section 8

Depends on the state.:

In Connecticut, Maryland and Massachusetts, for example, landlords may not refuse to rent to current or new tenants who become or are eligible for Section 8 help.

And in New Jersey, when an existing tenant becomes eligible for Section 8 help, the landlord may not refuse to accept Section 8 money. If you live in one of these states, your landlord’s refusal is against the law.
