...and/or the decline in your property value if you had a decent place where one of these "experiments" was implemented nearby.

If it "works" it will attract "the poors and other riff-raff", which will, in turn only lower neighboring property values even more.

The folks with the 30 year mortgages have lots more to loose than the gun-toating Junkies, I think we can all agree.

It will also simply become another ever-expanding, govt.-funded, corrupt mess. We all know who is gonna get the contracts for the "renovations" too ;)
