That's the problem with concentrating low income housing in one place. You end up with Cabrini-Green all over again.

Also, I think there should be some sort of scale with low-income housing. Just like anyone else, maybe you should have to work your way up to get to a nice neighborhood; that would help serve as a filter to let those in who will have comparable standards of care for their residence. It makes absolutely no sense to just gift someone a house in an upper-middle-class neighborhood without making them work proportionally more for it; the alternative is someone who has no appreciation for it and places no value on it; takes no pride in their 'achievement'.

For a lower-middle-class person who has to work really hard to get into a slightly-less-shitty-neighborhood, a slightly nicer apartment, it's a disincentive for someone else to come along and get the same thing with a big government handout just for making it to the top of a list.

it's usually not houses though. It's multi family homes/apartments. But yeah, it's still free. I had a neighbor who hadn't worked for years after "hurting her back" and would bitch and moan about her $60.00 rent. Yes $60.

yep. and they will trash it. they will party all night, scream and fight, do fucking jumping jacks at night or install shelves n shit at 2am. No rhyme nor reason to anything they do as they keep bizarre hours. You'll go out onto your patio and see cigarette butts and cigarette plastic covers everywhere. I've found fucking condoms and roaches (weed), and speaking of roaches: you will end up dealing with them or bed bugs.

These are animals. They are not part of the family of man. I don't care what skin color they are. There is a mental disconnection that I firmly believe just makes them talking apes.

even with government guaranteed rent paid to a landlord for a subsidized tenant, most still think it is a risk to rent to that person.
