Anyone who has to live in affordable housing would have to live with the graffiti and the gangs and the crime.

Very true. I'm a single woman, and I've gotten along fine with my little office job and one-bedroom apartment. Now my neighborhood has turned into a barrio, with the graffiti, gangs and crime, but I can't get out because rents in halfway decent neighborhoods are over $1,000 a month. I can't afford that. The illegals can get around the high rent by crowding numerous people into one apartment. But most Americans don't want to live that way. So what do we do?
