The first house I bought was in a brand new development and was in a really nice area. We just had my first son and I wanted to move to a new development to meet younger couples that had kids my son’s age.
The first year we moved in was great. No issues. Towards the end of the first year we started to notice people moving into homes that seemed to be out of their price range..
I am saying that I knew it was out of their price range because a lot of these families would have 10+ kids, in a 3 or 4 bedroom House and I wouldn’t see anyone get up and go to work in the morning.
It started with one house and then it became roughly 50% of the neighborhood.
Well I decided to go to an HOA meeting to see wtf was going on and it turns out a lot of the folks living in my neighborhood were getting vouchers for the homes and living there RENT/MORTGAGE FREE.
Since we bought our house, the value quickly started to drop and I decided to stay because I didn’t want to take the financial hit at the time.
One Friday evening I got off work, picked up my boy and headed home to relax. When I pulled in the drive way my next door neighbor, black guy, was beating the SHIT out of his wife.
I should probably add at this point I have a license to carry.
I pull up and I tell him “stop hitting her.” He looks at me dead in the eye and starts pacing toward me and was going to attack me next. I pulled my pistol out, cz75, and said “I do not want to shoot you, please don’t come any closer, my son is in the car and I will shoot you if you come any closer.” He quickly backs off and the cops end up coming.....
I listed my house the following week and never looked back.
The point of all of this is DON’T think this cannot happen to you! It happened to me.... in Texas!!!
The government. I am not sure which department or how it’s funded. It is something to do with HUD and providing housing to low income families in the burbs.

who's paying for their houses?
The government. I am not sure which department or how it’s funded. It is something to do with HUD and providing housing to low income families in the burbs.
The government? How does the government make money?
We are fucking paying for it.
