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?
