Villas - If you are blessed to have a roof over your head, thank God. If you were able to pay your mortgage when rates were low and you had money left over afterward, again, thank God that you had the opportunity. If you begrudge people on rental assistance, remember that today, the gap between earnings potential and the current "market rate" of rent is as wide as the Grand Canyon, with no bridge except assistance programs. Walk a mile, no, a city block in someone's shoes before you embrace the 'not in my backyard' (NIMBY) attitude.
