Also, most of the law firms are mainly serving the o&g industry.

Commercial wise, the market is going to blow up shortly if not already.
The Texas Medical Center is the largest employer in Houston and believe me here are a whole lot of medical related law jobs in Houston.

I understand the need for low income housing, however I have a problem with it moving next door while I pay more than my fair share of property taxes. Where may I find the fair section eight rates by area pls? Thanks for the information. I just don't trust the housing/building saturation in Houston and how this may turn out...
You are confusing subsidy programs. While the Hardy Yards project might accept Section 8 vouchers for whatever market rate units it offers (and I don't know if it will or not), it is receiving capital subsidies for construction, and in return must offer a portion of its units to renters below certain income limits. That doesn't have anything to do with Section 8.

The decision of whether or not to accept Section 8 is up to the landlord, though there are some activists who want to make acceptance of a Section 8 voucher holder mandatory for landlords if the tenants meet the other screening criteria.

You have absolutely no say in whether a landlord chooses to accept Section 8 or not. Or, for that matter, what rent they charge period.
