The residents were forced to endure substandard conditions because of HANO's inability to effectively manage their properties. Residents would be much better off with some sort of voucher program which allowed them to find suitable housing at real market rates.<BR/><BR/>Section 8 is not the answer, it merely creates privately financed public housing, the worst of both worlds, with no incentive to do anything by meet minimum standards.mominemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517025007146886987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15755953.post-1161910077490930772006-10-26T19:47:00.000-05:002006-10-26T19:47:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for your last two posts.

Is there a correlation? You tell me.<BR/>All I know is, I am not happy with the increase in crime in my neighborhood. <BR/>Keep us informed, po boy. Thanks.<BR/>TMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
