Positive because the other realistic choice is rent control.  I'd take Section 8 over rent control any day.

I'd rather have rent control.

Rent control has caused a shortage of housing in Los Angeles.  The reason real estate has shot off the charts is party because economic incentives mitigate against new housing being built.  New renters get hosed if they are lucky enough to find someplace, old renters get subsidized by the new.

Rent control is the worst.

But John Ford is wrong - 'rent control' does nothing to house the poor, who have no money at all.  You can't control a landlord's rent to be 0.

I just said I oppose rent control!  I prefer Section 8 as a means to house the poor.
