Sounds great, instead of just certain areas being crappy with high crime, now all the areas will be crappy with high crime.

People can move where ever they want, just hav to be able to afford the payment, welcome to America.

youve made the inference that poor minorities are going to ruin white neighborhoods if they are allowed to move in next to them, stating that these white neighborhoods should have all the perks to themselves, and nobody else should get any of them.

it sounds like in your opinion that the lower the income of a person, the lower quality of the person.

Crime and poverty go hand in hand. So moving poor people to middle class areas will increase the crime in the neighborhoods. I know this because I grew up in a city that filled empty homes during the housing downturn with section 8 residents from Oakland and Richmond. They brought all the crime and problems with them. Now crime in my childhood city has drastically risen and the middle class is leaving. When the middle class (taxpayers) leave the city is stuck with a bunch of section 8 and low income housing, a high crime rate and no one to fund the schools and police.

I have no problems with minorities moving anywhere, they just need to be able to afford the payment.

WTF? I bought in a nice neighborhood so that I wouldn't have to live in close proximity to a low income ghetto populated by those who are lacking in the practice of civilized behavior.

That the denizens of such places occasionally move about, sometimes into my environs, is why I keep a loaded gun available and ready to use.

Typical socialist attitude. Since it's "wrong" to encourage those at the bottom to aspire to move towards the top and let them suffer the consequences when thay fail, let's just drag those at the top downwards.

Those who work for and pay for the perks should have them. If you don't work to achieve, (or perhaps don't win the lottery) then you're not entitled to the benefits.

No, another conservative who has worked hard and pulled himself up out of poverty to accomplish what he has, with no interest in handing the fruits of his labors to someone who has not worked equally hard to achieve it.

I was born in the shadow of a mill and watched my dad work himself to death in that mill. He forbade me to ever get a job there and insisted I go to college and work towards a better life. My wife arrived in this country with $50 in her pocket and a carryon bag. We now have multiple grad degrees, a beautiful home, luxury cars, and can send our child to a private school. It took a long time and a lot of hard work to accomplish this. So you think I should welcome low income townhouses built a block away so I can share our neighborhood pool with a bunch of ghetto rats?

Success is available for anyone willing to put in the effort. Those who are too lazy to do so can starve (literally for all I care). I'll sleep well either way.
