Re: Can we refuse Section 8 tenants? by Donny Brook (California) on April 24, 2016 @04:37

Don't blame the HOA or other homeowners for avoiding Section 8 tenants. In any community where there are many section 8 tenants property values go down. For those who don't understand what the means in terms of profit and loss---- it means LOSING MONEY on the value of YOUR ASSET--- your property.

In the old days there used to be county welfare "poor farms" for people on the dole to live in thus avoiding having them bring down property values. We ought to go back to that system again. Why should freeloaders be allowed to live among hard working people who have to pay their own way? Just seems wrong.
