I've lived in a place with a significant number of Section 8 renters, and I would definitely have supported measures to require people in the area to be wealthier. No, wealthier people are not better people — but at the very least they have more to lose if, for example, they pass out drunk in one's front yard or burn down one's building.
And yes, of course, poor folks deserve to have homes to. But there was a period of several years where it was a nightmare to live where I was. The police were constantly present, one couldn't walk up to one's own front door without being accosted. It was terrible.
