This week’s new Government Programs chumra: if you receive Section 8 assistance, you should not mow your lawn or shovel snow from your sidewalks ever, because Heaven forbid a passerby might think you can afford lawn care service and therefore you must have cheated to receive Section 8.
Isn’t section 8 rental assistance? Shouldn’t the landlord be mowing the lawn and shoveling snow?
We can put it to a vote as possible Chumrah of the week, if you would like.
