The working poor can still live with family and friends to pay what they can afford and by and large they respect the landlord and their neighbors and try not to abuse them. 

Section 8 families can be takers - disrespecting the landlord and abusing him/her by property damage and excessive costs. For example, if you allow them to use your dryer instead of the clothes line ("I don't want anyone to see my drying underwear") you'll find yourself with huge electric bills not only for drying their clothes but also their siblings and their friends. The dryer is in use hours each day ("it's the baby not us. Every daily visitor is probably bringing a couple bags of clothes to wash").

The only solution to this is really that no one uses the dryer. Everyone dries their clothes on the clothes line. It would be nice if the Section 8 staff can try to educate section 8 families on how to handle these issues. Their landlord is not out to cheat them - nor should they verbally abuse their landlord.
