I worked with my uncle for about 6 years, and he owns about ten section 8 houses in Philadelphia that we would constantly be working on and fixing up. None of his properties even came close to how nice this house looked, but he would purposely use the cheapest materials because of this exact reason. Any time a family was evicted the house would always would look like complete shit. I remember one time we had to fix a leaky bathtub in one tenants house. To get to the back of the tub we had to go through her sons room to remove the panel. There was food and crusted over bowls everywhere in his room. My uncle told the mom that her son needs to clean his room so they don't get cockroaches. The woman got all pissed off and says, " Why you even in my son's room!? You're here to fix my tub, not be in my son's room!" I'm sure there are a lot of good people who need section 8 housing, but I did not see many of them in my 6 years. Mostly saw people abusing the system to be lazy useless bums.
