Section 8 is a portable voucher system it doesn't centralize poverty well not until the frst voucher holders scare of the working homeowners and then over time the hood turns into a slum.
The Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program is a component of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCVP) program. The PBV program centralizes poverty by design, and those projects are what have deservedly given section 8 program a bad reputation.
I love how you conveniently left off the rest of New York, reducing it to just Manhattan, so you could attempt to make a point. If you want to see what extreme market-driven forces with no balancing looks like, visit any third world city. Talk about extreme wealth and extreme poverty. I'm far from a progressive but there's a middle ground that your radical ideology is missing.
Read up on Caracas and what happened when Chavez implemented the policies you race about. Hint it ain't pretty.
Cool then they can move to apartments they can afford. No one is entitled to live in DC. PG has 15 metro station they can pick one to live near and Metro in to work if need be.
So you think all firemen, police officers, teachers and nurses should live in PG County? I'd also like to point out that most of those jobs have hours when the metro isn't running. My shift is 7am-7am but I get to work at 430am.(no I'm not getting paid for those 2 1/2 hours) I get there early to check over equipment, drive around the neighborhood to review things, and clean up the fire house.

Haha. It's so cute how you take a centrist program that provides a relatively small housing subsidy to people working and making between about $50k and $80k, and equate it to a radical socialist state. Tell me about Cuba next!
This is all just silly. The fact that you're even discussing Section 8 in the same conversation as workforce housing proves you don't really know much about either.
I never understood how the apartments calculate this. 3 times the rent of $2500 a month rent is $7500 a month without the tax taken out. Do they think we simply don't have any other bills, including IRS?

I'm not following what you are talking about. A one bedroom will not be over $1,300 a month basically anywhere in the city under the ADU program. That is about as affordable you are going to get in a major city in a Class A building.
That's fine. That's what the suburbs are for. Cheaper housing where the land is cheaper. The higher the intensity and the closer to the city center, the more expensive the housing and office space. It's like that all over the world.
You mean the vibrant city (Manhattan) which is all but devoid of middle class life. Just the poor and wealthy. If you didn't move in in the 60s, sorry you're out of luck. When will progressives learn that their attempts to manipulate the market only make it worse? You just get scarcity and disinvestment. Before rent regulations Manhattan was far more diverse economically.
With DC's rent control regulations, there are some very affordable apartments in older buildings in sought after neighborhoods. And there are no income restrictions. Apartments with normal tenant turnover are roughly market rate however.
