you guys need to READ… according to the snopes link. the only thing that’s real is the photo of the section 8 housing. the article text itself is satirical. Though it does seem strange that someone living in government subsidized housing would have a big screen television… but let’s be realistic… that old rear proj tv could probably be had for a few hundred bucks. ---

> [@newman](#): > > you guys need to READ… I read it. The griping is more about the system, not this one link. You need to go visit your neighbors, chat em up, count up their electronics & clothing value, then factor their public assitance… then come back and post. Black Rock / Riverside is becoming the new lower west side. There is more Section 8 shit in your area then there is in the east side. I grew up in both places… its beyond bullshit when folks who are claiming other peoples kids ontheir taxes; safehousing their assets under the names of deceased family members; collecting SSI, SSDI, FoodStamps, Medicaid, & Welfare - meanwhile they are spending money like their name was Chris Newman. All the while people like my mother had to work 70 hrs a week, go to night school @ medaille, and couldn’t get pub asst for her and her two small kids. Yea… lets be realistic. ---

Buddy of mine told me when i was a kid, and it rings true: East side is moving to the west side, west side is moving to riverside, and riverside is moving into N.Buff. The old folks are dying off, and their kids don’t want to deal with the neighborhood going to shit, so they sell off or rent the house for cheap. Voila. ---

I only moved to riverside because of my job, met my ex there and stayed 2 years too long if u ask me, never again will i live anywhere near there. My grandparents’ home on the west side is a shit hole now, once they sold it, the scumbags moved in and wrecked it. no respect. ---

I used to work in a pharmacy with a drive-thru window. People used to come and get their prescriptions for free, billed to Medicaid meaning that they’re on welfare, in new Lexus trucks. I used to have to take care of them because half the staff refused to go to the window for them. There is a lot of scum that has no problem stealing our money via the system. ---

You guys just don’t get it. People like that just need more stuff for free. It will motivate them to start working. I’m unsure of the details but PM Joe and I’m sure he can explain it better. :lol: ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > My grandparents’ home on the west side is a shit hole now, once they sold it, the scumbags moved in and wrecked it. no respect. My grandparents own 2 houses on the east side that they rent out among a few others, and everytime a family moves out we have to replace the doors, windows, screens, and carpets because they trash the damn houses and break shit. Disrespect for rented property like that really fucking pisses me off. ---

the worse thing is, you get a house that was previously trashed, you don’t do anything more than normal wear and tear and than the damn pissed off landlord tries to knick you to cover costs that was previously done to the place.
