yeah the ghetto old apartments aren't a good place to live but i have to live there cause I can't get into a home......
and i do understand where youre coming from, its not fair.
me personally i'd be glad to c a family whos honestly trying to make it get the better house while i live in my ghetto. id rather be exposed to the stuff that goes along with living there than a single mom with 3 kids. hell, id be super glad! lol

So shall I assume you think they should live on the streets or shelters?

Innocent children. People whom might of been laid off. People who are handicapped. People whom have disabilities. People whom aren't employable for whatever reason. Elderly. The widowed. A single mother/father who's spouse left them with the children. The teenage girl who had a child. The list goes on and on.

Near the end of that list, you'll find your welfare/Section 8 abusers.

Lets just file this as "seattledave narrow minded and/or stupid comment #55" on ScionLife.

please, you live in stanwood, far away from city living and section 8 housing. I've lived next door to section 8ers at 3 places in Seatac & Tukwila. I'm sure you can check it out, but out of your list I met only a few like that, mostly it's the alcoholics, the lazy, the drug addicts, the woman with 3 kids from 4 different daddies, who just keeps ******* (that last kid they're not sure if it's leroy's or samson's).

I got 2 jobs, work 75 hours or so a week. I get 1 in 14 days off. Most everyone i know complain about 1 job. Do i like to work 2 jobs, HELLL NO. Do I feel physically able to do it? Yeah, as much as you and everyone else. If these section 8 people got 2 jobs, they would not qualify for welfare and section 8 because they'd make too much money. get 2 crappy jobs if one doesn't cut it. end of story.

your two jobs can't be that bad. you're on scionlife almost all day long! lol


you can be against home ownership for people that cannot afford it yet still be for them in cheapened apartments.


I say give them all old apartments for cheap and build new cheap homes for mid level income buyers.

The sooner you learn this, the sooner you'll either get over it, or do something about it: There is no help for the middle class. You make too much to get help, but don't make enough to not need it. This is true with taxes and student loans as well.
