Poor neighborhoods include, but are not limited to, neighborhoods with Section 8. Even with Section 8, the standards are often not upheld, which continues the cycle of delapidated housing and criminogenic environments.

Right. So why would you want to take these people, who have histories of abuse and misuse of property, and put them into wealthier neighborhoods that people have spent their entire lives building from the ground up? I know that if I was paying hundreds or thousands of dollars a month for a mortgage, I'd be pretty pissed to know that someone else was getting the same use of a home from Uncle Sam via my tax dollars.
I say let the cycle continue. If we're going to be giving out welfare, then lets keep it down to the basics. A structure to live in would be considered a "basic"... a neighborhood to destroy would not.
