IMO there shouldn’t even be “section 8” housing — anywhere.

Sgt. Kyle Bistline of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station and Palmdale Partners said investigations have been pretty steady so far this year. He also said most of the Section 8 homes deputies visit are in violation of program rules.

“From our standpoint, 95% of the places we go to are in violation and need to be terminated,” he said. “Here’s the bottom line: You’re getting subsidized housing. Those are our tax dollars, and there is a list of rules you need to follow.”

I saw a London based Yotel (airplane material in small room with toilet laptop acces, kinda like a small jail cell made with airplane plastics) with a cafeteria/resteraunt.

I thought that would be a good housing system for single homeless people.

I don’t believe down on luck or folks with mental/physical disorders that keep them in low income should be tossed on the street.

I agree section 8 has become one govt. mess over the decades.

Some neighborhood homes that are worth allot of money get the Section 8 approved and it really brings the property values down with those who trash the low income homes.

Yeah, politicians are sure generous with other people's money. Maybe it's just me, but I believe charity should be voluntary.
