I actually don't think this is as nefarious as the article makes it out to be. Section 8 housing in SF is basically little pockets of shitty, poorly constructed, slum lord managed ugly buildings. Would I rather have this than tent cities? Perhaps, but I also want to call out that when you think affordable housing, you think teachers, and dish washers, jobs that simply do not pay enough to afford market rate housing. These units are not that.
