I'm onboard with the notion that a significant amount of opposition to low-income housing in many areas stems both from racism and fear of racist stereotypes. That said, I think a lot of home owners are very defensive regarding their illiquid assets and generally just don't like things that affect their property values. Low-income housing is one of those things. Less wealthy folks moving in nearby is one of those things.
Put simply, I don't think you have to be a racist to be a classist. Whether that is any better, well, probably not, but call it what it is.
