I hope the City if Atlanta gets taken to court and loses on this one. It is just big government overreach to me. This will cause a lot of people to move out of their expensive apartments, if the neighbors are going to be using HUD section 8 vouchers to pay their rent.
On Monday, the Atlanta City Council approved a new measure they claim will prohibit discrimination against applicants who use federal housing vouchers.
The ordinance was approved by a vote of 13-2, will ban landlords from rejecting vouchers as payment for affordable housing units, a measure introduced by Councilmen Antonio Brown and Amir R. Farokhi. The two opposing votes were from Councilmen Howard Shook and J.P. Matzigkeit, who both represent Buckhead area districts. Advocates for the measure say landlord discrimination against vouchers is widespread and has exacerbated the affordable housing crisis.
