#1 Other articles on this stated that what the people were waiting for was merely an application to get on the waiting list for the vouchers. They were not actually applying for the vouchers. So the first come, first serve principle contributed to the mess.
Meanwhile, in other news, the federal & state governments are doing all they can to KEEP HOUSING PRICES HIGH. Yes, that policy does affect the Section 8'ers also.

#4 surprised this even made the news, Katie and all surely can't explain this, unless it can be spun as Bush's fault.

#6 Besoeker i wound up in east point by mistake one time with some drunk friends. We didn,t know the ATL streets too well .We found a cop too follow him out of that shit hole. I thought the entire east point was section 8 housing already?

OS I-20 has always been a demarcation line. Don't go south of it especially in DeKalb, Fulton and all of Clayton counties
