	Why is section 8 housing so nice? Suffering from ads?

I never really realized the huge difference until i went to my boy's house and one side of the street is non-section 8 rowhomes, half of which are boarded up... and across the street is the public housing which is nice, twin houses... the contrast between both sides of the street was ridiculous...

so what's up with that? how come the section 8 people live better than the lower middle class people in our broken down 80 year old rowhomes? ****'s crazy...


thanks

You're asking the wrong question.

Perhaps the section eighters have more money? You need to provide us with more info, dude.

i don't know... sometimes i swear people on welfare and gov't housing got more money than people who got jobs...

what else can i say? from experience, section 8 people live in better houses than everybody else... i guess i should try to get a picture up to show the dramatic difference but i dont got none of sec 8 housing... if you saw the pics i posted before of my neighbourhood, that **** is non-section 8 and it looks pretty run-down whereas the section 8 houses are twin houses (not rowhomes) and got small yards and what not. they are just plain nicer.

It's probably just newer. Give it a couple years and it will not look much better than anything else.

What is section 8? And what is a project?

Section eight refers to a subsidized housing program that provides vouchers to people who otherwise would be unable to afford rent.

I was never one to truly appreciate the asthetic of padded walls and such, but for the sake of discussion I'll concede the point. The reason they have them is so that those crazy people won't throw themselves into a hard wall, possibly damaging it.

Perhaps the Section Eighters keep better care of their houses than white trash like you Albert...?

Perhaps they are a actually quite clever and know how to fiddle the system better than you can?

This is the most likely answer, Albert. And not only are the new homes newer, they are in a more modern style with modern fixtures, etc. Of course they are going to look nicer than the 80-year old rowhouses across the street - the laws of entropy demand it!

There are plenty of welfare receiptents who do fool around with ****... some got jobs that would put them over the welfare line but they get paid under the table... others deal, etc.


alright i guess it is because the houses tend to have been built only in the past few years... but how come people who are just above the poverty line can't get no new houses? oh well.


thanks

So it's not the welfare that's to blame, it's the black market dealing. Yeah?
