That'd be a great point if I hadn't started Windy Citizen with $3k to my name and $100k in student debt. I moved into subsidized housing in Chicago so I could save money.
Not sure how I feel about that. Section 8 is supposed to help people who are struggling, not subsidize early-stage startups.
I guess it's probably a net gain for the economy, but you should strongly consider giving back and donating some of your money to groups that help underprivileged families in Chicago.
If you're in a position where you could easily go get a high paying job, but instead you choose to go on public assistance so you can focus on your startup, I'm not sure why I as a taxpayer should be subsidizing that.
