Some egregious examples include one four-member family in New York City making almost $500,000 a year and paying $1,574 a month for a three-bedroom apartment, an Oxford, Nebraska individual worth $1.6 million paying $300 for a one-bedroom apartment, and a five-member family in Los Angeles that has remained in public housing since 1974 despite making over $200,000 last year while shelling out just under $1,100 for their monthly rental of a four-bedroom apartment. Meanwhile, over 300,000 families languish on waiting lists for public housing.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/18/hud-allows-over-income-tenants-to-stay-in-public-housing/I almost had a friggin' STROKE, when I heard this on my local news broadcast, this evening. Baltimore's waiting list for public housing is about 5 years----down, from six.
Baltimore was said to have DOZENS of these over-income families, living in public housing; now, there are THREE, my broadcast reported. I appreciate that even ONE is too many; but, at least, it's better than "dozens".
