Total hyperbole and a sweeping generalization in "lifestyle"....read what you alleged again...it smacks of a dangerous conclusion about Section 8 recipients/applicants....watch out, your sheet is showing. I don't endorse the program in toto, but the recipients/participants DID NOT design the program, right?

The risk doesn't end when they move out. They can come back to haunt you with whatever BS they make up.

You are wrong. So many recipients of section 8 stay on it even into their senior years. To many it becomes a way of life they get use to.

It’s not a sweeping generalization.. it’s a fact. Once people are on section 8, they don’t get off. If some do, it’s a very, very small percent.

My ‘sheet’ is showing? Not sure what you’re implying by saying this so I suggest you be careful with your own allegations.

Absolutely and they pass their vouchers down from one generation to another.

Look, the recipients DID NOT DESIGN, LEGISLATE AND PASS the program, right??


geezus, I don't even like the program as DESIGNED, but goddamit, the recipients and beneficiaries are NOT to "blame" for using the legislation AS WRITTEN.


Don't like the program (and I don't), change the godddamn rules and requisites and guidelines !!!!!!!! how tough is that to understand?? lol


Blaming the applicants who QUALIFY under the REGS are not stupid.....the designers of the legislation are STOOOPID.


The registrants are "stupid enough" to understand and use the system set forth.


Geezus... that's not hard to understand where the locus of responsibility is...




Unbeliveable

True. Nevertheless I still won't accept Section 8.

Yes they do. I know this for a fact. Not saying every single one does but a large majority do.

If you are willing to put in the work it can work...

Doing this for 35 years there is no denying the program does not run on auto pilot.

That said more owners were willing to take a chance in general before it became so much more involved and costly to move a problem tenant out... both assisted and not.

The very rules developed to protect tenants often hurt the ones it is supposed to help...

Plenty of small providers have left the business because it has changed so much.

My one page rental agreement with second page inventory and condition is now 28 pages just to include all the mandated information.

The market that is hurt the most here is single family and duplexes... just about all go owner occupied upon sale...

Going back to the Section 8 program where Housing guaranteed the security deposit would help a lot...

Hint... Housing got out of security deposits because it was too much trouble... which says a lot.
