[StBernard] Sec. 8 denial by landlords (from nola article)

I just loved this part of their "summary"


Landlords denied voucher holders the opportunity to rent units eighty-two
percent
(82%) of the time, either by outright refusal to accept vouchers or by the
addition of
insurmountable requirements for voucher holders making it impossible for
voucher
holders to rent units.

The data demonstrates that the alarming rate of discrimination against
voucher holders
is driven by two primary causes: discrimination against and stereotypes of
low-income,
African Americans and dysfunctional administration of the HCVP.


I so love the fact that landlords denied voucher holders by *outright
refusal* to accept them!
Oh My!!

Mr. Perry, despite his law degree from Loyola, has no concept of the notion
of "private property". Must have missed
class that day.
