Not sure about Section 8. In section 8 government is paying most or all the rent and is not affected by recent regulation.

Section 8 is supposed to be a sliding scale with tenant paying a small portion depending. However, staying beneath the 'depending' is part of the art of the steal.

Everyone I ever knew who lived in sec 8 housing was lying about income, cheating the system.

One welfare queen owns a house elsewhere.

I felt sorry for the poor growing up; now I realize it’s mostly people who choose to game the system.
Of course there are also working poor people.

Just from my previous employees, especially of foreign provenance, many families retain properties in their countries of origin but declare no income here. However, they don't want people to think they are poor, so they will 'brag' about having farms, real estate and rentals back home. Of course here, they are 'poor' and bleed the system for everything that is not nailed down.

A lot of Iranians are especially funny because they virtually all have offshore accounts and assets while claiming they washed up on shore with only the clothes on their backs.

Of course, it is a game everybody can play. One of my wife's occasional friends claims she is nearly homeless, but she inherited a condo in Seattle that she keeps as a rental with stealth income. When her mom croaks, she'll inherit another house in San Diego.

In our place in tri valley, we now have two inheritors living behind us and another inheritor living one street over, and those are just the ones we know of.

Of course, Santa Cruz is full of inheritors and trust fundies. It's how they can afford to live there while being otherwise vagabond or hippiefuck.

Right, but you don't have to wait two years to evict them after having your property seized by the CDC or some other corporation.

"You voted for it." Next time vote against politicians that usurp property rights and prevent you from collecting rent.

People are out of their mind to buy a house to rent out. All the the fuck that does, is put artificial price pressures on the value of RE, and give people who don't own it.
The False sense of calling it their house, and can do to it, what ever in the hell they want.

Waiting two years to evict them has nothing to do with what the tenant did or didn't do at the end, when she left. No correlation.

Nope, just salt in the fucking wounds.

I can think of half a dozen other things that are fucking with property values. Small time landlords don't even register.

That's not far from me, BACH. That happened in 2013 apparently. That's how long I've been out of watching TV, especially local news .
As I don't recall that happening. I quit watching TV in 2012.

That's how Palestinians got rich.

They got refugee money orders from UNRWA and other organizations, which they cashed. They claimed to be poor refugee students, got married student housing, free meals, food stamps, etc. while banking their $500 checks each month. In a few years, they would put money down on a home with a free degree from Uncle Sam (mid 70s-90s)

Then they encouraged family members to apply and banked even more money.

All of this time they or close family owned apartments/homes/businesses - plural - in Jordan or Damascus. Many in France and the UK as well.

They did this starting with Carter in the late 70s.

On welfare, 100% free ride and free room and board, plus refugee checks from the UN, while owning multiple properties.

Literally every Palestinian that was an adult in the 70s and 80s did this, which is why like Sarsour they own multiple homes in the US and worldwide.

"Refugees" - even when they have multiple residences/citizenships, the status keeps giving cash and bennies.
