Thank You NC GOP for finally sticking up for private property rights and putting it into law with section 7… It was only a matter of time before Asheville and Charlotte tried to pass local ordinances saying you had to take vouchers.
You already could straight up advertise that you didn’t accept vouchers, people don’t understand the pressure a lot of “nonprofits” would put on property managers to accept vouchers. They had already been working with cities on beginning to create local ordinances to force people to accept vouchers.
Do I feel bad for people and are there good people using vouchers? Of course, absolutely… Anyone who has a problem with who in their mind thinks of a single mother with 3 kids or some sweet elderly lady who has a voucher living next to them when in reality this ends up being the person wacked out on meth they see screaming to themselves.
Sorry socialists and Marxists I just want to remind you rent control is also written in law to be illegal in N.C.…
