If before getting a permit you have to dance around for Code Dept officials/ city gov and crime is thru the roof, investments will definitely be low whether real estate or other, but it should be benefiting the city officials to keep things that way.

Right, now, none of that  honor exists, except in your own mind. 

Each housing authority (HA) provides a voucher amount determined by bedroom and some further define it by zip code or city within their covered area.
