While Section 8 is limited to US citizens who meet criteria, nothing has or will prevent a voucher holder from allowing one or more unauthorized people from sharing their space, regardless of citizenship. Unless the unit is in a small owner- occupied building, who knows who is visiting or living in a unit?
Now you are deliberately misleading. Yes Section 8 waiting list vary. However it is well known that in any place livable the waiting lists are out of sight. Seattle, LA, LV, Phoenix...try forever. Now if you want one in Skunk Hole Alabama? Only a couple of years. That is because no one in their right mind wants to live in good old Skunk Hole.
And you are of course agreeing with what I said. No way to get a Section 8 voucher in a reasonable location without throwing out some citizen.

they are actually pretty strict about who occupies section 8 housing. You can't just start moving people in or you lose your voucher. You can request that they be added as a member of the household but most of those requests are not approved. Section 8 Rules for Visitors and Unauthorized Guests | Section 8 Facts
In the past an illegal alien could be listed on an application for housing as long as there was one eligible citizen applying but their income would be counted toward the rent obligation. It appears that they are removing the rule that allows that. I don't particularly care except that I think it's mean to make changes like this retroactive and to kick people out with no notice. You could accomplish the same purpose by just applying a citizen only requirement to future applications. But Stephen Miller dreamed this up and he seems to be the male version of Cruella de Vil, he even looks the part when he spray paints his bald head to make it look like he has hair

I think you were the one misleading by implying all wait lists are 10-15 years now you admit it's only for the liberal havens you crave.

You can't just start moving people across the border without permission, either. Yet it happens. Rules and laws are only as effective as their enforcement.

What does that have to do with anything that I posted?
Then step up to the plate and give us a list of section 8 wait lists for other places in the Country, I'm honestly interested in finding out.
San Diego has 6 waiting lists open. San Diego County, California Housing Authority of the County of San Diegerot is a public housing agency in San Diego, California that participates in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing, Section 8 Project-Based Voucher, Moderate Rehabilitation, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. As of April 23rd, 2019, Housing Authority of the County of San Diego has 6 waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
My county, Tulare, has 3 waiting lists open. I only checked lists open in California, but there appear to be quite a few openings throughout the state. As to how soon you get housing after you get on the list, I have no idea.
