Best aspects (respondent's words): By providing housing to everyone while being aware of their financial status, our community is uplifting those who are suffering financially. In my community, I consistently felt like there was a clear divide between income status. This led to significant changes in how people treated others based on just living a couple of blocks away. This not only impacted self-esteem, but also personal standards. Those who attended high school frequently went straight into the workforce or the military, whereas at the neighboring high school, the majority of students went into college. Removing these boundaries, while also putting hard caps on landlords' pricing out those who were originally from here, will only impact this community positively.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): What's the point in adding a new apartment building that will just continue to raise prices in an already over-priced neighborhood with apartments that go vacant? This will be a waste of time and will only impact our community negatively.
