Government pays to house poor in luxury apartments with pools, wine cellars

They are doing the same thing in Raleigh & Cary, NC. Before a developer is allowed to put up a sub-division, they force them to commit to providing a section of low income housing units. The low income complex (which usually includes a pool, fitness center, high-end amenities, etc. because the city forced them to do this as well)... is usually the center of crime and drug dealing across the entire community. Spillover crime ruins the rest of the community for the homeowners.

The developers do that so they can charge higher rents. Not much force needed :). The S8 tenant only pays a small portion based on income, the municipality picks up whatever the balance is. More amenities, more money for the owner.

And what happens when the S8 residents drive all the others away?
