It's your prerogative to choose mainland drug addicts instead of local Section 8 families.  I too had some bad experiences with Section 8 but there really is no reason to participate in the program due to the tight rental market.  The point is Housing First takes units from the state rental pool.  That is a fact which is indisputable.  The result is the working poor have less rentals to choose from and could become homeless themselves as a result of the program.
