“In his first year in office, Reagan cut the budget for public housing and Section 8 rent subsidies in half.”
The allowance for Section 8 housing is a fixed amount and is the same anywhere in Pennsylvania.
Coatesville has the lowest real estate values in Chester County and the lowest cost rental housing. So most Section 8 housing is here.
Section 8 housing was designed to allow low-income people to be integrated into middle class areas.
Reagan saw to it that low-income people were segregated into ghettos thus making it much easier for organized crime to prey on poor people to run their narcotics industry.
In Pennsylvania a qualified family can get a subsidy of $1234.00 for a 3-bedroom apartment. If Reagan didn't cut that in half it would be $2,468 and a low-income family could live in almost any area of Chester County.
In Chester County I believe there are links between Section 8 housing (HUD), landlords, (some of those landlords non-profit organizations) and the organized crime drug business in Chester County.
Chester County Commissioners, State Rep. Hennessey and HUD proudly spent $6 million refurbishing Roymar Hall, a Section 8 apartment building in Coatesville.
I believe there is an effort to keep real estate values in Coatesville low, to concentrate low income people, especially black low income people in the City of Coatesville and sustain the illegal drug industry in Chester County, PA.
