Several years ago, Chicago closed their crime ridden housing projects and moved the residents to a number of small towns downstate. A town that I once lived in was the recipient of many of these residents. The crime rate has skyrocketed. I noticed that our former house was up for sale, with the stipulation that only a live in owner would be considered. I asked a friend, still living there, why they would say that. She told me that people were buying houses in the areas that were still pretty nice and then renting them out to Section 8 ‘residents’. The Left pushes and pushes and pushes. Why aren't they called out for the BULLIES that they are?? Probably because they have so many Leftist judges that back up the bullying, I guess. Reid did a huge favor for the Leftists, much to the detriment of our country, when he rammed through the nuclear option. And nary a complaint from their sycophants in Big Media. Now loads of judicial activists to implement the Leftist agenda.

Living next to a rental property that isn’t owner-occupied can be a nightmare; when people have no stake in something, they couldn’t care less about it. The same problems in high-rise tenements can arise in a 3-family rental unit (garbage, graffiti, lack of maintenance, etc.).
