Dizzy,

I just mention it because I hate the meme that renters inherently detract from a neighborhood.

Reminds me of a story I read about how people were opposing an apartment building because the renters wouldn't help contribute to making the schools nice b/c they don't directly pay property taxes. As if even if you rent an apartment and send your kids to the school and want your kids to be successful you obviously don't care since you rent.

And besides, there are mounds of evidence that show its not poverty per se, its the concentration of poverty when it comes to crime and other issues.
