[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's your point? Arlington already has lots of poor people, and so it's going to get more of them?[/quote]

Might be a landlord who owns more than 4 rental units. They must take Section 8 renters. That's why most landlords  put their properties in individual LLCs so that they don't have to take section 8 tenants. [/quote]

I would imagine investors would happily take on section 8 tenants, ensures some guaranteed income. My concern therefore is that some condo or apt buildings will become the "section 8 buildings"[/quote]

Uh, many already are.   The bigger problem is the affordable units that have been mixed into market rate units.  We stupidly rented in one on Thomas St. in Arlington and gave up our security deposit and paid the last five months rent to get out.    People living in those units often have mental health issues and  self medicate with drugs and alcohol.  IMHO people with those issues should be  grouped together where social workers can help them deal with their day to day issues and not affect people who just want to work and live peacefully.
