Doubling up in Vallejo Sec. 8 housing

Vallejo, California is one of the inner-suburban towns where poor San Franciscans began to move in the '90s under the combined pressure of HOPE VI demolitions and dot-com-boom redevelopment. Now, with subsidy money tight, local officials there are pushing families on Sec. 8 to live in closer quarters: two to a bedroom regardless of age or gender, and "a living room is considered an acceptable sleeping area."
