My real problem here is with Section 8 housing... the current hovel I live in has about 40 percent section 8 housing - why? because it works out well for the complex owners, i could lose my job and the building might be out the rent, with section 8 housing, the building gets paid no matter why. Why do i care/ well, for my 750 square foot unit, i was paying 1200 a month... a larger unit -would rent via Section 8 for aboug 400 a month - my rent continually increases.. while people live in the identical units i do, pay less than half of what I do... Why do they get that right?

WHen i was looking in NH - one building I loved -- I got talked out of by several residents of that building who claimed the section 8 residents treated the place like a housing project.. certain areas were disgusting...

there are places a person can live within their means-- the guy in the story has a job - just not one that allows him to live in manchester -- so -- go elsewhere..
