Keep in mind that these residents have no "ownership" of their residence because they do not pay for it. Expect things to be broken, stolen, and defaced. Expect not to be notified of when these things occur.

My city has repeatedly been building "affordable" housing. Each time, the new development is pitched as having a target of 75% rent-paying residents with 25% section 8. Each time, the loud music, violent fights at 2 a.m. on weeknights, and repeated police calls end up making all of the rent-paying residents not renew their leases. Within two years, each of these developments is 100% section 8 and complete pits. It's also no secret down here that the Daley administration in Chicago has been quietly encouraging gang bangers and other criminals to relocate to these new housing developments in Central Illinois.
