[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elderly aunt had to move out of her rent controlled apartment in one of the big buildings in ward 3 because there were too many voucher tenants who were making life unbearable with noise, smoking, and increased assaults.  They also didn't feel safe in the neighborhood any longer and felt like crime was getting worse.  Her adult daughter was attacked in Cleveland park parking lot getting to her car.  Maybe it was the coincidence that one of them was a victim of a crime, or the place was getting turned into a housing project, IDK, I just know they left for a garden apartment in the burbs.

I posted an article here some time ago criticizing free housing voucher situation, because government would pay above market rents for these undesirable tenants landlords would otherwise never rent to, but they didn't provide them any service to help them integrate or policed them.  Many of these voucher recipients were previously unhoused, some had criminal records and drug related issues.
