Not at all misunderstood, though my position is that the recipients should absolutely be prohibited from concentrating in any community. If it means subsidizing the rent of some family to move to an 8000 square foot mansion in Lake Forest, so be it. If anyone is willing to accept rent, than Section 8 should not be denied uniformly and automatically. Well, ok, maybe that's off the deep end.
Of course, if a community has no renters, than maybe the program can buy homes and *rent* them to the recipients for a few years.
Of course, there should be a lifetime limit of section 8 use for able-bodies adults too, just like the limits on receipt of welfare aid.
Bottom line is that poverty should not be concentrated at the hands of the G.
