How is it a taking if you state merely that people can't discriminate based on the section 8 status itself? The landlords still get the same market reimbursement they demand.
And I'm not sure, but I'd like to think you aren't arguing against my ban on the use of such vouchers in concentration.
Maybe I'm confused though. What compulsion/coercion do you object to?

Disclaimer - I am ignorant in this area. But what I object to is compusory aspect of this. I think landlords should be able to rent to whomever they like, period. I also do not like the idea of government planning in the market place, for what I believe are obvious reasons.
That said, I don't necessarily disagree with the effects you believe your plan would have, but I would be pissed off as hell if a landlord in my building or next door decided to acept vouchers. Tell me, would the government compensate me for any dimunition in my propery value?
