Section 8 housing is government subsidized housing. Our something for nothing culture compels people to do stupid things. There is no way that even a small fraction of the applicants will get a housing subsidy but here they are all crawling over each other just to get their hands on a section 8 application form. But getting the form represents hope and possibly change and so they do it.
Historically, when people run out of hope they start to take their future into their own hands. Sometimes it’s a positive change but too often their energy is turned toward those who professed to be their saviors which is why the police showed up in riot gear, expecting the worse. Relying on the government for anything will eventually prove to be a losing strategy IMO. Aware people will be moving steadily toward a plan of self reliance.
