It’s not permanent in most cases. NYC had a similar programs a decade ago that scorned landlords as they stopped the program and was stuck with non paying tenants. Eviction takes up to a year in nyc housing court, that’s 12 months of unpaid rent.

Section 8 only covers 70% of the rent, the 30% has to be covered by tenant. Plus the endless bureaucracy that makes working with these programs a hassle. If people aren’t taking guaranteed money then there are obviously issues with the program.

Pretty much.

Let private enterprise insert itself into anyplace things were being done at cost and extract a percentage to call “profit”, ideally at taxpayers expense.

That’s what health insurance is too by the way… it’s Medicare relabeled with shareholders taking a % as profits for acting as middlemen. More they can deny more profit leftover.

If only there was an entity that didn’t actually need to turn a profit. Something that could just collect what it needs to cover the service and the administrative costs of the process. Something public, auditable and accountable to the people who use it. If only other countries with such a system would share how that works…

Oh I'm not pretending. I'm answering your claim. I dont get my news from Reddit. Perhaps you do. As that accusation was yours.

Most hate crimes do not result in convictions. Hope this answers your disingenuous question.

Nyc also does not really track convictions by race. So you have to actually look the cases up. If you do, you'll find that it's mostly black men. Almost every one I've come across these last two years. There's been a big increase lately.

As a matter of fact I dare you to find single NYC hate crime on jews perpetuated by a white trump supporter. Best of luck.

Edit: can't find a single case? Gee. Totally unexpected. Apology accepted.

Let me ignore for a moment that you’re pretending that you aren’t a more chronic reddit user than myself…

Not even the report by Dov Hikind’s org (who has had a demonstrated agenda pushing for racial profiling measures) dares to claim that almost all antisemitic attacks are by black people.

So where are reading all of these convictions where every single one is a black person?

I worked as a housing specialist for a bit (albeit in Columbus, OH. Not NY state) and the primary reason I would hear from landlords for not leasing a HCV tenant is either because of the limits on how much they can raise rent in a given lease period or they didn't like dealing with the housing authority itself. I have no experience with NYC's HA but if it's anything like Columbus, then it's a shit show for everyone involved.

On the other hand landlords are 95% of the time shit bags and slumlords. I almost got into a fight with one landlord because he refused to accept that the housing authority would not authorize his unit for inhabitance because it didn't pass inspection. In this case it was because he had an open outlet on the wall where water from a shower head would pour. Obviously not going to pass but he disagreed.
