Gee don't you guys ever get tired of your antipoor propaganda? Your worse then the race hate groups. Whats next for a thread? "Poor man jaywalked, police citted the poor jaywalker, OMG! we are using taxpayer money to pay for the cop and the sidewalk for the poor jaywalker.
Bad analogy.
The proper traffic equivalent to a poor person being given a voucher for a $3000 per month luxury high rise apartment would be more like...
"What next, are you guys going to gripe because the driver of the Rolls Royce that was ticketed for speeding was actually a poor person who was given the Rolls Royce by the taxpayers?"
And yeah, in an equivalent analogy, us "guys" would likely have an equivalent gripe.
500 LSDr is high demand, luxury real estate. Giving that away to people who could not otherwise afford it on their own merits, using money taken from others by force, and also to the detriment of at least one person who could afford said luxuries but is now artificially denied supply to meet their demand based solely on politics, is a proper thing to gripe about if you are one the people paying the taxes, paying your own bills, or capable of understanding the kind of work and success is required to afford 500 LSDr on your own merits.
The people paying the freaking freight on all this nonsense have EARNED THE FREAKING RIGHT TO GRIPE. We pay the tab out of our wallets. Being slapped in the face and kicked in the balls right after paying that tab is kind of insulting and worth griping about.
The article is interesting, worth a quick look. Voucher holders can request supervouchers (exception vouchers) which enable them to choose where they want to live unencumbered by having to consider the cost of the apartment like most people would. imo, expect this to snowball as word spreads.
This kind of crap just shows that there is not a lack of funding but the idiots handing out the taxpayer dollars are corrupt or criminally incompetent.
For all the bleeding hearts...ruminate on this thought...how many people are sleeping in the streets, in need of housing while a lucky few are in the equivalent of Trump Towers?

As a landlord, I find this view utterly ridiculous. The issue isnt that the landlord is accepting welfare payments, the issue is that welfare payments shouldnt be so ridiculously high, that they can afford to live in luxury.
Those lines make no sense in this context.
IF the landord is not forced to accept vouchers by a state law, then it is indeed his fault because he had a choice, and he then chose to speak out against his own choice will still taking the money.
And you being a land lord has nothing to do with it at all.
The article says 4 people out of thousands got this voucher.
Wrong. Try reading the article.
