I'm now doing maintenance work and one of my properties is income-based (translated: lazy asses that don't pay no rent). It's great listening to these people constantly bitch because we can't put brand new everything into the apartments that they're not paying for.
And even better is that I not only get to help pay for the juice and pop and potato chips and candy bars for the kids, I also get to pick up the empty juice packets and pop cans and potato chip bags and candy bar wrappers that they leave all over the grounds since their parents can't seem to find the time to teach them to pick up after themselves.
And then they have the gall to bitch when shit doesn't get fixed fast enough...well gee...if I wasn't spending 2-3 hours every week picking up after your kids and cleaning around the dumpsters that your ignorant lazy asses can't seem to get your trash into, perhaps I could get to these things in a timely manner? Wait, no, I can't say that because they'd slap a fair housing lawsuit on us.
On the flip side, I also take care of another property that is elderly and disabled, mostly poor ones that don't have anywhere else to go. And with a few exceptions, they are truly in need of the help and are very nice people to whom I'd do anything for.
