I know of a guy who has built a mini-empire on section 8. But he comes from the hood, lives in the hood and is kept busy all day. A tough way to make a living..
In NYC I see it as a subsity of the aspiring middle class. Every other single family home in the Bronx has a floor or basement rented out for top dollar. It is amazing what the government will pay you for section 8. Most of the renters seem to be single moms - I guess it is better than being in the projects. But unfair to the rest of us who work hard to pay for housing.
