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..

Mal, this is my situation. I live in a Section-8 building, but didn't know until about 6 months after moving in. Our rent is pretty high and it makes me a little peeved that some people are paying less. Especially, when I see the lack of respect these people give. I think it is a cycle in our country where people think they deserve things. People view government aid as an entitlement instead actually of having to work to earn it themselves.
