dy,
I don't know what Bap's situation is, but mine is that I took not a dime of taxpayer dollars for my house, and that, frankly, one should not be extracting taxpayer dollars be it through S8 homeownership program or FHA or first time or whatever.
Section 8 is for people who can not do for them selves. HUD loans are tax payer welfare way before SECTION 8. they are a hedge for dudes what either can not save or do not want to use there own $$$

weasle is actually spelled weasel. And IMHO, Bap has a narrow view of the world - I've made no secret of my opinion of that - but I don't think calling him names, even misspelled ones, is productive.
well you worry about being productive and ill call a spade a spade or a spaid or a spayed.
If folks need S8 to make do, the last thing they need is S8 homeownership. A mortgage plus expenses is hell for the government to promote to those least able to fix the roof, the plumbing, the heat, the tree. It goes on and on, all the time, as you know.
Five years into the foreclosure mess, this program seems exceptionally unwise, cruel even:

Section 8 vouchers go to the landlord, and the feds do criminal checks on the tenants.
In this case the tenants even offered to pay for the compliance repairs:

So what is the downside with having section 8 tenants vs. other tenants?
