Right.  You are smart avoiding this situation.  My elderly disabled aunt had to abandon her rent control apartment on CT ave in a nice convenient and previously safe and comfortable neighborhood.   She had to move further out into a garden apartment unit in suburbia outside of beltway.   That's all she could afford, she was basically driven out of the city, and her management company capitalized by turning her unit most likely to another section 8 tenant for much more rent money.   Imagine all these apartments turning into projects and what it would do to the SFH areas around these buildings and the retail.

Middle class residents that used to live in these buildings as they provided more affordable housing than very pricey SFH/rowhomes in NWDC are now replaced with unvetted section 8 tenants, some of whom may have criminal background or are previously homeless and unable to follow rules or maintain their units, or are in need of mental health/addiction help (like the article states).
