There Goes The Neighborhood II

in Liberals

housePeople work hard, save money, make sacrifices, and buy houses (for a premium) in safe, clean neighborhoods, and a gaggle of liberal lawyers ask a judge to dictate social policy and ship in people who didn’t do those things, people dependent on the government.

“Good schools” is one of the reasons cited. Does anybody want to guess why the schools are good? Never mind. The question’s rhetorical.

You maintain and care for something you own much better than something you rent. And when the government (taxpayers) pays a large portion of the rent, you care even less about it. It’s not yours. We all know how it works.

If this goes through, property values will drop (partly because of Section 8 housing), crime will increase, and the tax base will shrink (adversely affecting those “good schools”) because the better-off who work to pay for the schools will move again. And again. And again. At least for now, people are still free to live where they want to live in this country, government social experiments notwithstanding.

There ought to be a law…
