"Dubuque, Iowa, for example, received an influx of voucher holders from projects in Chicago — and it’s had a problem with crime ever since. A recent study linked Dubuque’s crime wave directly to Section 8 housing."

Boy, that's a real shocker. You mean if you move violent criminals from a crappy place to a nicer place, that move doesn't instantly turn them into productive, law-abiding, churchgoing citizens?

What the hell is wrong with these people? Do they ever get tired of being wrong? Here is the liberal mindset..."Yes, let's move all the heroin addicts, and heroin dealers, from Lowell to Nantucket. Problem solved."

They won't allow that by claiming they fear the island may capsize.

It used to be the NIMBY reply when dealing with drug-infested areas. Now you can't even say that because, even with town meeting and petition signings, you can't win.

When they move the worthless dregs of society from a dump to the Ritz, they surely CAN claim "problem solved".....solved for the dump area that is!!

That's just the reciprocating factor of "spreading the wealth" by "spreading the filth".

I am a legend in my own mind!

The obvious solution is to put a wall around the Windy City.

Or we could start saying out loud, that these people in places like urban Chicago, would be better served to change their values, than to change their zip code. Zip code is meaningless in this context.
