Here in St. Louis, someone proposed a bill that would mandate those living in subsidized housing dedicate a small amount of time - an hour or two a month - to picking up trash, painting, raking, planting, etc.
The outcry was fierce - it was "putting people back into slavery again." I guess property OWNERS are treated somewhat differently.

You’re right about that. Property “owners” worked hard to get their home and should have the right to keep up their place, and park their vehicles, in any way they choose. Those who live in “subsidized housing” have the taxpayer to thank (taxpayer = “part-owner”) so they are beholden to those that helped pay for it.
I’m one of those blessed folks who live where freedoms still exist and I thank God for that.
