Ten Reasons

Why low income housing is totally worth the price.

  1. Little girl knocking on your door to ask if you would like to buy cigarettes because their Mom says they got their one day notice and will be evicted tomorrow.
  2. Calling animal control on the neighbors who starved and didn't water a pair of bunnies for a week.
  3. Waking up to a child knocking on your door for 10 minutes straight, asking if you have any soda (while coincidentally holding a Mt. Dew).
  4. Watching tv with the lulling bass of Bone Thugs & Harmony's "Crossroads" from the neighbors in the background.
  5. Watching a father flying kites with his children in the street slap his child so hard it knocked him off his feet.
  6. Having your neighbor offer you a dog that "ain't got no eyes."
  7. Hearing a mother yell at her 4 year old child from her 3rd story balcony.
  8. Being served with an eviction notice because the office staff neglected to pass on not one but two messages.
  9. Watching the family next door who chain smokes inside their apartment bring home their newborn baby.
  10. Asking the child with a shower cap on who is petting your dog why they are wearing a shower cap, only to figure out they have lice.
