/s cut out a step and simply transfer DC residents' taxes to the landlords. > That meant vouchers could be used for one-bedroom apartments renting at up to $2,648 a month, according to Housing Authority documents.

Better not to work at all and just collect the free housing, free healthcare, and free food.

Throw in SSDI for a family of 4 and you’re well over $6k/month. That does assume you worked enough months to earn the SSDI coverage to begin with.
