[quote=Anonymous]I live in a neighborhood with a nearby apartment complex that results, essentially, a split neighborhood with one side making about twice as much money as the other. The apartments are billed as "luxury" and are not affordable housing. But there is a major cultural difference between someone who squeezes a family of four into a $2k/month two bedroom apartment and someone with a family of 4 in a house with a $5k/month mortgage. Almost all of the cultural problems in the school, on the bus, and even around the neighborhood streets are caused by the apartment dwellers. Lack of respect for rules like parking spaces zoned for certain permits, bullying on the buses, theft  (luckily the theft is all within-apartment so far and hasn't spread to SFH), and even a couple of times I have been road-raged on by people who live in the apartments elsewhere around town only to later see their car pulling into the apartments! So no, please, keep cheaper housing away from me. All people are not created equal, unfortunately.[/quote]
