It's not necessarily about property values, but rather the types of people low income housing attract. Most of them are perfectly normal people I'd be happy to have in my neighborhood, but there's always a few who ruin it for the rest. I don't want to suddenly worry about getting robbed on my street.

I also hate that I feel this way, and I'd really prefer to just give everyone the benefit of doubt, but I've seen it happen too many times to just ignore it.

It's always an unpopular opinion to say that there are bad people in the world but it's the truth.

Of course there are bad people in the world. That's why I don't want rich people to move into my neighbourhood. I want to live in a neighbourhood full of working class people who are well-off enough not to need drugs or stealing to survive, but who haven't gained their money by stepping on others.

You are literally generalizing people with money as bad people. That's the same as generalizing all poor people as drug users and thieves.

If you look down on the idea of generalising people as bad for their class, why'd you do it?
