It really is bad manners to sit idly by, and jump in to be pedantic .. Sorry for the nit-picking :) I’ve been following your blog on my reader for a while, and I really appreciate your perspective on things.

I do mean renters at least in this link. But the effect of low-income homeowners in stagnant or declining neighborhoods is just as bad but that's a topic for another day. Ah!

I can't find anything in this story about homeownership. In my opinion, so much attention has been paid and resources allocated to protecting homeowners that renters, often those in most need of assistance, have fallen between the cracks. Section 8 programs have proven to be successful in deconcentrating poverty and providing for the essential needs of millions of people. Renters have little political clout, but have the most dire needs. Do you mean to say “low-income renters.” I can’t find anything in this story about homeownership.
