  No, the equivalence you've drawn between long-term renters who happen to qualify for housing vouchers and people who stay for a few nights in a house while traveling is the illogical argument.

They are both groups of people who some folks wish to exclude as neighbours, and others wish to include as neighbours, in both cases presumably based on desirability or undesirability qua neighbours. I've explained my reasoning (which is that I think short-term renters are more likely to be of a similar social class as their neighbours than are those who qualify for housing vouchers, and that I view local class homogeneity as a social good); it's hardly illogical, although you are of course free to disagree with it.
