There's no law that says a landlord HAS to accept Section 8 tenants. In fact, landlords have to go through a fairly lengthy, on-going, process in order to rent out their property through the program.

Many landlords are now opting OUT.

The worst neighborhood in New York City is the one you don't want to live in. There are people who refuse to set foot in Brooklyn, or The Bronx. I'm a native Brooklynite, and as far as I'm concerned, the Upper East Side of Manhattan might as well be located on Mars. It all comes down to preference.

You would be singing a different tune. Among the poorest areas in the city and an NYPD Impact Zone to boot.

Yeah....real nice.
No offense, but 9 times out of 10 you sound like a little kid who is making up stuff as he goes along just to show everyone how ghetto you really are and how no other hood is anywhere near as hard as the one you inhabit:

Some Random Poster: "Some parts of New Orleans can be pretty shady. Look at the housing projects and houses that look like they are out of the Third World."

SuperMario:
"The NO has nothing on the Bronx. The hardest New Orleans thugs would get mugged, sodomized, and killed by your average 6 year old girl in my hood. Try the projects in Morrisania, we call them 'vertical Vietnam', but that is a bit of a mistatement, those buildings are more violent than Vietnam."

SRP: "I think the most dangerous place I have ever been to was Beirut in the 1980s. The only sound on the corpse littered streets were the distant sound of gunshots and explosions."

SM: "Beirut in the 80s was nothing compared to Morris Heights in the 80s. There were literally rivers of blood in the street, I regularly had to swim in a torrent of Type O just to get to the subway to go to school and when I got there I had to hike four miles on a mountain of corspes just to get inside the building. You want to know something about my old school in the Bronx? Those gun shots weren't distant, they happened right in front of you and it was the teachers capping students and you were so used to it that there better be a multiple beheading to get your attention. And while I am on that subject, those beheadings in Iraq are nothing. In the old days, folks in my hood would saw off a head just for something to do and not to make some kind of political statement. Folks in the Bronx are so hard and ruthless that they don't even need a reason to decapitate someone on film."

Lol...I think anyone has posted on here for any length of time realizes SuperMario's agenda..but thanks for reminding the newbies who may not know. Squeezebox I think the city recently passsed a law stating that LLs cannot discriminate against those with section 8, so now they are a protect class. It does not mean you HAVE to accept them, but it means you cannot DENY them based on their sectiob 8 subsidy. Of course this is really moot as anyone on section 8 has 1,000 other reasons (legally) that you can use to not rent them an apt. And I can confirm that LLs are turning away section 8 in record numbers. Even in Mott Haven, the epicenter of subsidies like Section 8, I am surprised to hear how many of my neighbors no longer take section 8...so if it becoming rampant here, it must be really bad everywhere else in the city.

I haven't verified the authenticity of those quotes attributed to SuperMario. Iif they are accurate, it seems that I have competition in my fiction writing pursuits. I would suggest as a fellow writer, however, that Mario, alter the names of the jurisdictions and cast of characters in order to protect the innocent. We fiction writers do it as a matter of routine.

Also. while there is no minimum age requirement to be such a writer, I am concerned about Marios's well being. Hopefully, he is allowed by his parents to come up for air sometimes. It can get awfully stuffy being in a basement 24/7.

You really have alot of time on your hands. You bring this thread back just to say that?

Anyways this is why you fail. I am neither from Morris Heights or Mott Haven so you can me a river.

Yes you are right..you are not from Mott Haven, Morris Heights, Beirut, New Orleans, Morrissania, or any other neighborhood you blab about, yet you still claim that your opinion is the right one, no matter how silly and one-sided it is.
