Reply #96: When you pay for something yourself, you're more likely to value it more.

Someone who values something tends to take better care of it. I'm not saying ALL SS8 renters don't value thier home and/or trash them... or anything like that. But it happens alot more in SS8 in my experience than in regular non-SS8 retntal units. It's a Personal assesment based on personal experience. Whether or not you base your beliefs on my experieces doesn't matter to me - Lord knows I'm not basing my actions from your experiences. :shrug:

Is this a quantitave assertaion? No - it's 100% qualitative. But you see it in many sectors of life. Rental cars, rental tools, hotel rooms, spoiled kids not knowing the value of things given to them, etc... I see it everyday. That's just the way the world works.

Furthermore, and more quantitative, when somone in SS8 housing fucks up your house what are you going to do? Legally go after somone who likely has mediocre credit and very little assets to recoup your losses? No. You're SOL because as the saying goes, you can't get blood from a turnip. When someone with good credit and assets in a high priced rental destorys something it's not nearly as difficult to get restitution.
