On the other hand, our section 8 experience in south central WI is that the sec 8 tenants are used to being offered "cash for keys" from the landlord to avoid eviction, and as such, don't take the threat of eviction seriously, but that is due to the many "slumlords" and larger issue of bad management with the local landlords.

If the population is declining as some in this threat have argued, is the timing right to invest with the additional instability that an election year brings?  

And all kinds of threats to call her S8 caseworker on me. 

The county continues to send tax notices and threats to me.   

I’ve heard some scuttlebutt about certain universities here that are facing serious financial issues, to the point of posing an existential threat to them.

The veiled threat about "pissing a lot of people off" is a red flag.
