    The best neighborhoods have a well balanced diverse community. At least that’s been my experience‍♂️

    Your really dumb af section 8 has nothing to do with these ungodly murderers out here in Lancaster. Thus been going on for 28 years or more. Section8 is a great source to help low income families with living expenses.

    Another neighborhood in decline…

    If property owners quit renting to Section Eight, they’d all have to leave the area, a better quality of people would come to Lancaster and the crime rate would drop. It’s really simple.

      Republicans go after Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc. but you never, ever hear them go after Section 8 housing.

      The landlords get the money not the renters. Makes ya wonder if Republicans are the majority of the landlords. It’s wellfare for landlords to pay the mortgages on their rental properties.

      Isn’t that a sweet deal?

        I still get all my EBT pizzas and free healthcare. I don’t pay into the system, but I am sure I can somehow get Social Security.

        Of course the landlords are Republicans. They have an income and believe in capitalism.

        … that’s the thing about the Nancy Pelosi people, nothing could ever be the fault of their beloved Democrat party. Everything is always someone else’s fault. Joe Biden is their new God –

          Page 1, democrat playbook, the kid falls off his trike, “… Russian agents working for the Republicans conspired to seize the bearings, on the democrat toddler’s tricycle.”

          These words coming from Barbi who thinks distributing porn isn’t illegal.

          • Reform is dumb says

            October 21, 2020 at 8:47 am

            Reform…..Porn isn’t illegal. You’re ignorant, obnoxious and very opinionated.

          • Reform says

            October 21, 2020 at 9:16 am

            Distributing porn is illegal. BTW this is the opinion section. Where do you get your porn?

          • Reform says

            October 21, 2020 at 9:25 am

            Should have been more precise regarding Barb1’s opinion on distributing porn which had to do do with child porn being distributed. Do you distribute or receive?

          You have the intellect of a rock. If you think for one minute this falls squarely on the shoulders of Nancy Pelosi. Neither political party give a damn about the poor.

        All these people talking stuff have a gold spoon stuck there a. Whether your rich or poor. We shouldn’t conjecture.

        The City of Lancaster is in seriously in trouble. The failed leadership continues in spite of increasing crime statistics. People deserve the results of inept leaders they fear. Lancaster leadership stay out of Palmdale.

        • East Palmdale says

          I don’t feel safe in Lancaster nor do I have much respect for its leaders. There are many other places I can go. There is nothing I want or need in Lancaster. Maybe someday things will change when the old guard is gone. Now they are trying to make Palmdale into a Lancaster. That’s not good.

    • Next time think twice says

      October 20, 2020 at 10:03 pm

      That’s bull stuff. People who own mansions rent to the wealthy and stuff still be going down.

      Yeah ? So section 8 is the reason or cause of these crimes.

      So let’s move some wholesome ppl in that’s not on section 8…… It will be a mom who’s been abusing her kid & now they found dead while mom claims someone stole the kid. Or perhaps the man who murders his whole family then turns the gun on himself….? SMH. Sad…..
