Fuck, Snoop got jacked on this story, thanks El Borak, I hate when I short cut and don’t do my research first.
However, as with the link provided by El Borak, “Housing Vouchers” are very real.
This is a touchy subject with me because I was screwed because of the Section 8 bullshit.
The idea that liberals like to play lab rats experiments with society using our tax dollars is a very real dilemma we must face when deciding if we want to put one of these mad scientists like Hillary or some idiot like John Edwards in the White House.

Housing Choice Vouchers Fact As Long as They Don’t Move Next Door, Stephen Grant Meyer examines the history of housing segregation in the United States

How Much Does A Neighborhood Affect the Poor?

(yes this post is bogus, silly me but do you doubt there are people like the fictitious Cynthia Bumble out there?

Faced with the widely acknowledged social pathologies of public housing projects, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is now providing “housing choice vouchers” for qualified applicants. Cynthia Bumble, Deputy Assistant Undersecretary for Urban Relocation, defended the new approach, saying that “Public housing projects are unattractive places to live. They are dilapidated by vandalism and plagued with crime. A lot of your neighbors are scary. How can we justify sending anyone there to live?”

Under the voucher plan, those living in the worst neighborhoods will be first-in-line for subsidies enabling them to move to “better, middle class housing.”

Bumble discounted critics’ contention that the rules of the program give public housing tenants incentives to degrade their current housing. “Those living in the projects are the poorest of the poor,” Bumble asserted. “They’re a pretty unmotivated crowd. Few will understand the rules of the program. Fewer will have the energy to take coherent action even if they understand the rules.”

Bumble also rejected the objections of those living in the destination neighborhoods for the transplanted projects’ residents. “Just because a person has worked hard to afford her own home in a nice neighborhood doesn’t give her the right to deny these same benefits to those less fortunate,” Bumble said. “Even a person on welfare still wants the good things in life. The greed and prejudice of the so-called middle class shouldn’t stand as a barrier to those unable or unwilling to make the same life choices as the rest of us.”

While she conceded that there could be some “collateral damage” to the destination neighborhoods, the Deputy Assistant Undersecretary insisted that it would be a “small price to pay for bringing greater equity to the way we house our population.”

In related news, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) released a report estimating that it takes 192 days of work each year by each taxpayer to pay his or her prorated share for government spending and the higher consumer prices caused by government regulations. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett derided ATR’s complaints as “mean spirited.“ “American taxpayers aren’t paying nearly enough to suit my tastes,” Buffett declared. “That’s why I think it is essential that Senator Clinton (D-N.Y.) be elected our next president.”

I have ranted about this before so I’ll TRY to be brief. Back when my former wife and I decided to move off the Air Force base to our own home we moved in what we believed to be a good decent neighborhood.
However as crime started to creep into the hood, folks that had the means to move out did. At the time I was an E-3 and my wife was working part time and going to school.
So for us to move (upgrade) would be difficult.

The gubment started buying up houses on my block and converted many to HUD houses.
What was immediately noticeable was the people moving in were your stereotypical shady folks. Yards were jacked up, bad ass kids were moving in, loud music, cars on blocks, people parking on their “so-called” lawns.

The few remaining homeowners were obvious. Just locate the green well kept yards and gardens, weeds not growing on the sidewalks in front of our homes ect.

The final straw was my daughter witnessing some dude lying dead on the street as a result of a drive-by. We got the fuck out but paid dearly for it, because we damm near could not give the house away. Luckily suckers who did not know any better (put me in that category too) made an offer and we said SOLD before they could finish asking.
We lost thousands of dollars on the home and I blame the gubment for moving in these mutherfuckers in who fucked up the hood. I don’t sound angry do I?

The idiot lady in this article saying: “Just because a person has worked hard to afford her own home in a nice neighborhood doesn’t give her the right to deny these same benefits to those less fortunate” BULLSHIT yes it does, particularly if I’m paying for it in the form of increased taxes!

Frankly a lot of people simply don’t need to be in a “home.” If you are unwilling or unable to take care of it and can’t afford the basic maintenance it takes to maintain a decent home the last thing a legit homeowner needs to folks coming in a fucking up the housing values. Homeowners have a right to protect their investment, THEIR BIGGEST INVESTMENT and no bleeding heart liberal fuck can tell me otherwise.

Mrs. Snoop had our current home built before I moved in, could we “upgrade” slightly,  that is debatable, but totally unnecessary because we are happy with our hood and neighbors.

But you don’t think that if the gubment started subsidizing moving hillbillies and ghetto rats in the hood a For Sale sign would not go up faster than you could blink, you would be mistaken.

If you want a better place to live, go to school, get an education, make more fucken money, invest or work harder or longer, stop smoking it or drinking dead presidents away and expect society to make up for your lack of common sense.

It pisses me off how these liberal morons want to micromanage this whole damm society. What further pisses me off is I guarantee you this Cynthia Bumble quoted in the story will not have hood rats moving in near her neighborhood. Stupid bastard!
