seeing libs talk about the horrors of socialized housing while this is 'just normal' increases my revolutionary spirit :elmofire:

    FYI: the Faircloth Amemndment was signed into law by Clinton that set a cap on ALL Public Housing in America

    " In 1998, the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA) was passed and signed by President Bill Clinton.[16] Following the frame of welfare reform, QHWRA developed new programs to transition families out of public housing, developed a home ownership model for Section 8, and expanded the HOPE VI program to replace traditional public housing units. The act also effectively capped the number of public housing units by creating the Faircloth Limit as an amendment to the Housing Act of 1937, which limited funding for the construction or operation of all units to the total number of units as of October 1, 1999. "

    so between this fucking insane limit on public housing and the stupid (and generally racist/classist) zoning in many US cities, the results are this kind of turdpile nonsense
