What would you prefer? Living somewhere with crime (the violent forms of which are mostly gang related), or living on the street? The poor need places they can live too.

Keep telling yourself that. I know illegals personally living in single family homes. Kick them out the mortgage doesn't get paid. Then the house defaults. Then all homes around it depreciate.

Or, I could check out local zoning, which I did, before buying here. Plus I bought 10 acres, so no one will be building anything too close to me.

PLEASE PLEASE explain. I am considered "extremely low income" and I am crime-free, so I don't see how low income causes crime.

So you are an anti-liberty rent-seeker who uses government policy for your own selfish gain. Got it. Or you could just live in a gated community.

Sounds like there is a wonderful opportunity for YOU to build some low cost apartments and meet this market demand.

Because the private market is failing the people regarding a resource that they NEED. People NEED roofs! And the private sector isn't building them!

And you haven't offered any idea about how to STOP THE SKYROCKETING RENTS! People have told me to move (and I'm not even the one most struggling). You know, drop my job, my friends, I'm single but I guess if I had a spouse they would have to quit their job and move too, etc. That is NO SOLUTION! We need to stop rents from skyrocketing not for me, but for society.

Nope, not correct information. There are many factors involved and having dependents is just one of them.
Citizenship
Size of family/income ratio
Disabilities
Age (over 62)
Please see the HUD Portal for further, and correct information.
