I live in a nice area and the state keeps trying to build section 8 housing here. Everyone keeps fighting it because it is conservative here and no one wants trash. If we could be assured it was only disabled or the elderly people wouldn't be upset but the fact is many of us came from Southern Cook County suburbs and saw the scum move in and property values drop. In one area I lived in the houses are cheaper than they were many years ago.

In New Jersey, developers are allowed to sue to build affordable housing, so what happens is developers want to build something that doesn't fit in at all with the surroundings. Instead of putting in plans to build what they want to build, they propose affordable housing and sue the local municipality to get it in past local laws, then "settle" with the town to build whatever they really wanted to build in the first place with maybe a couple units of affordable housing attached as a fig leaf. Of course, the public housing laws are draconian enough that pretty much everywhere has a legal "shortage" so this puts huge money into the pockets of the unscrupulous developers and their attorneys who understand best how to manipulate the process.

Really? Section 8 Housing has more to do with the "Owners" who allow it.
I own the house I was raised in. When I grew up there, it was a basic middle class neighborhood. Good schools and peaceful environment. In the early 80's section 8 housing came in. The property values tumbled, the schools went down and the neighborhood turned into a series of junk piles. Virtually every street has seen the decay that section 8 brings with it. I am glad I now live in the country.
There really isn't that much Section 8 housing. In my neighborhood there is none. But there are a ton of morons who are white and don't graduate from high school. 58% of the town I live in are high school dropouts, they vote Republican, collect welfare, and are 97% white. Want to find a moron in America look no further than the Republican base in rural America.
