The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.

The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers.

Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes with the hard work necessary.
In fact, the opposite happens and the residents
resent their benefactors because the very house
is a constant reminder that they themselves
did not earn the right to live in the house.
They do not appreciate the value of the
property and see no need to maintain or
respect it in any way.

The result is the same whether you are talking
about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion
full of priceless antiques.

If the people who live there do not feel they earned the
privilege, they will make this known through their actions.

What do all these pics have in common?
And please see the ending comments!

They all show a basic disrespect for The White House and its furnishings!

The Resolute Desk was built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute
and was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes.
It is considered a national treasure and icon of the presidency. The White House belongs to the People of America
and should be more revered than to use anything
and everything for a foot rest!

What all these shots have in common is that they continue to prove that this man has no class!
SO HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA :

Obama,

You are not in a hut in Kenya or Indonesia,
or public housing in Chicago .
Well,

Get your damn feet off our FURNITURE!
