[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it crazy to accommodate so many in DC, why can't federal government give them incentives to go to areas where cost of living is low and entry level jobs in abundance?[/quote] Or repopulate dying towns. It's way too complex and nuanced a subject for DCUM but the lack of population mobility - for which there are sometimes good reasons - is one of the problems we face as a country. We should also build low income housing directly instead of using section 8. Section 8 just ends up increasing rents. Can't we take what we've learned from the problems with "projects" and section 8 and try something new. Some sort of middle ground where we build it but create a process to transfer ownership to the tenants over time.[/quote] Yes dust off the failed 1960’s policies. [/quote]
