Best aspects (respondent's words): I oppose such a multi unit building in my neighborhood because of my experience in with areas that are flooded with renters all to the gain of landlords. When you are a homeowner there is usually much more concern for the up keep of the home and the neighborhood. Renters are just not as invested in where they live. If a renter decides to move for whatever reason it is much easier to leave than a homeowner deciding the neighborhood has changed for the worse and has made the decision to leave. I oppose any development of a multi unit building in my neighborhood. It should remain as one family homes.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): I oppose the building of a multi unit building in my area. The lower the income of the renters and there is usually a lack of values and respect for neighbors. This ahs been my experience in the past and that is why I moved out of a major city on the east coast. Too many people equals too many problems no matter the income level.
