[quote=Happs]No I haven’t, but I’m sure if you do an internet search on crime in public housing. section 8 crime, or housing authority crime, you might worry about living in close proximity to one of these properties. If the landlords of these properties did better background checks on public housing tenants, you would have less crime.[/quote]

I understand what you think you might have read on the “internet,” Happs, but SD doesn’t have any “public housing” or “public housing tenants.” SD’s Housing Authority relies on private landlords to accept Section 8 vouchers. The waiting list is very, very long and the application and qualification process is very thorough. As an applicant/tenant, if you had been on a waiting list 3-12 years for a Section 8 voucher and finally received one (making your $1180 mo rent effectively $221) would you fvck it up by causing trouble at your rental property complex??

[quote=ahewitson]What happens if I would like to pay off the bond in full? Let’s say I wanted to buy a home in 4S and found out that my portion of the 2 bonds in that area was $60,000 for easy numbers. If I were to write a check and pay it off in full, would I be exempt from the timelines and the potential bond expiration in 2040?[/quote]

Why would you want to do that, ahewitson? Do you plan on keeping the property 29 years (until 2040)? Any potential buyer you later have for your house will EXPECT to pay these bonds for a property located in your area. You will not pay any more for the bonds by paying them twice per year on your property tax bills than if you pay them all up front. Nor do I think it would increase your resale value if you paid them off.

[quote=sdrealtor][quote=bearishgurl]Oh, and I forgot to mention that the majority of rental complexes in 92107 (also adjacent to 92106) accept Section 8. In fact, this zip code may be one of the zip codes in the county sporting the MOST “Section 8” tenants :-}

IMO, the most coveted residences in this county lie within 92106 . . . by far. And it’s wedged between TWO Section 8/govm’t housing locales.

You can’t get away from Section 8, unless you live within a Covenant. So my advice is to “get over it” and be happy :=)[/quote]

Most coveted by whom?[/quote]

sdr, why don’t you take your OWN Pigg poll on who might covet their own piece of PL? But before you do, get on your bicycle some evening (preferably Fri/Sat) and cruise in front and thru the parking lots (if you can get in) of all the “Section 8” complexes in and around your ‘hood up there in “Nirvana.” I think Happs here may need some reassurance that Section 8 tenants are not all “criminals.” Be sure to put some “glow in the dark” tape on your clothes, first :=)

[quote=Happs]So if the naked eye can’t distinguish Section 8 housing from regular housing, then a prospective buyer probably won’t know there is such a complex across or down the street? Would the seller need to disclose a low income housing project on the disclosure form when you sell a house/condo?[/quote]

No.

[quote=Happs]I can “get over it” if the tenants are upstanding and I don’t see police cars on a regular basis.[/quote]

Why do you think that will be the case? Have you ever lived in the vicinity of subsidized housing units before?
