Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about Rosen's identification of a major limitation for voucher holders seeking housing in Baltimore.
Option 1: 'The requirement that all vouchers be used in suburban areas.' This is not a standard or widely cited policy attributed to Rosen. There is no universal rule that vouchers must be used only in suburban areas, so this statement mischaracterizes typical voucher program dynamics.
Option 2: 'A federal law preventing landlords from discriminating against voucher holders.' While anti-discrimination laws exist (e.g., Fair Housing Act), they do not create an absolute barrier for landlords—landlords can have legitimate concerns under certain circumstances, and enforcement varies. This option overstates protections and does not reflect Rosen’s emphasis on practical barriers.
Option 3: 'The FHA exclusion principle for Section 8 voucher holders.' There is no recognized 'FHA exclusion principle' specifically targeting Section 8 voucher holders within Rosen’s framework. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination, but Rosen does not frame housing access around an 'exclusion principle' term, and the statement as phrased is not a standard claim in his analysis.
Option 4: 'The relative scarcity of units that accept Section 8 vouchers.' This aligns with Rosen’s major limitation, highlighting a supply-side constraint: there are fewer rental units that accept Section 8 vouchers relative to demand, which creates significant barriers for voucher holders in finding housing in Baltimore.
In summary, the first three options describe issues that are either inaccurate, overly broad, or not emphasized by Rosen, whereas the fourth option directly reflects the commonly cited central constraint—scarcity of accepting units.
