About three paragraphs in I thought, "Yeah, that's section 8" and was preparing to be unsurprised when it didn't mention it. But it did. Anyway, the whole point of Section 8 was to move the riffraff from the too-close-to-rich-people city areas to the suburbs, in a Parisian style setup. The suburbs, of course, were where middle class people fled to when the cities were originally ravaged by similiar population movements years ago. The eventual white flight (ie, ethnic cleansing) from the suburbs was baked into the cake and none of the other unexpected consequences were in the least unexpected.
