I may have remembered incorrectly but I believe it was in the context of the New York Housing Authority and I just made the perhaps incorrect assumption that it was Section 8. I tried to find the article itself but couldn't find it quickly.

You pay a penalty on household income over x. But then get family of 4 making 500k a year and since the children don’t file or own other investments. You can see it in the parking lots, high end cars and high end finishes in apartments. There is very little incentive to move out in a well ran subsidized property in NYC. I’ve managed large developments 800+ units.

  You folks managing Privately Run for Profit/Non Profit Section 8 housing units management firms are just derelict in your Duty as the US Government/FCC has billions of dollars of Funding Made available for High Speed Internet assistance for the poor but the Privately Run Section 8 housing entities(For Profit or Non Profit) are not even applying for the funds because they are too cheap to hire Grant Writers to apply for the funding. I'm currently living in a Section 8 unit that's changed ownership and is getting renovated, apartment by apartment, with residents moved to temporary units in the complex until their renovated units are ready. And the Management Company that's running things really is clueless and does not even care to even Apply for any federal programs that may be available to get proper broadband speeds to low income households. There needs to be some Federal Requirement for Section-8 housing Management companies to be forced to apply for any Federal Programs available to them in order for the low income Residents to receive the aid set aside in these programs to help poor and low income individuals/Families get better Internet Access. And this is in a time where the Government wants every service application done online, even in the time before the pandemic. There are Jobs where folks can work from Home via online jobs/services but that requires higher speed internet capabilities than is provided/accessible to low income individuals.
