| #6 Thanks for that link, Skidmark. I think there are a lot of weirdos in the California back country. The can do their thing out there and nobody notices. Dunno if it's an appropriate place for Section 8 housing, though. My thought was to locate the housing where the Section 8 participants could find jobs. Suburbs are not generally where you go to look for work. They are where you go when you're done working and you wanna go home. That's why they're called bedroom communities. You put the Section 8 housing in the suburbs and next thing you know you're gonna be providing those people with Section 8 cars so they can go to the city and work. Government Motors might like that. |

| #4 The Housing Secretary is in the midst of increasing Section 8 affordable housing vouchers for poor urban residents in areas like New York City to move to places like Westchester County via “mobility counselors,” the New York Post reported. How about moving them to agricultural regions in the South so they can get jobs picking cotton? |

| #3 Here in southern California they've been crying about the need for more "affordable housing" for as long as I can remember and that's a long, long time. So they've been building as fast as they can for the last six decades until it's sticks and stucco as far as the eye can see. But you can't buy one of these "affordable houses" for any less than half a million dollars. In my neighborhood it's more like a million for a modest 2,000 to 2,300 square foot home. I remember in 2008 after the mortgage meltdown when housing prices started falling to where some lucky people might think it really is affordable, the same crooked politicians and developers who had always called for more affordable housing suddenly wanted the prices to be stabilized and then get "back up to where they should be". It's all a lie. |

| #1 Affordable to the sort of people who can donate the max amount to his campaign, or affordable to the sort of people who get a pack of cigarettes or bottle of muscatel to go vote. There is a difference, ya know... |
