Best aspects (respondent's words): I would emphasize the importance of affordable housing for everyone because housing is a right. Research indicates that when people are housed and have enough food to eat, crime decreases. Corporate landlords are greedy and have no business in my neighborhood.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): I would be very angry if there were market rate apartments built in my neighborhood. Florida is extremely over developed and we have done almost nothing to update our infrastructure to be able to handle storms (I.e., managing water drainage). If the apartments aren’t affordable, I don’t want them in my neighborhood. There are so many other over priced apartment complexes in this area. This would benefit no one other than greedy corporations.
