Most that answer with a categorical “yes” (I want that) haven’t lived what you are suggesting.

I’ve lived next to low income + “project” housing. It’s physically dangerous, in the form of gun violence. Sucks but it’s true. When you’re in your 20s it’s whatever, what are the odds that you’ll be hit by a stray bullet?

When you’re pushing 40 and have kids? Fuck that. Build your housing elsewhere.
