I'm not saying people dont deserve roofs over their heads, but imo, you'd think people who are being subsidized by the govt. would actually treat their homes with respect. Most remind me of Indian reservations.

Well, that's why traditionally, governments have incentivized home ownership through land grants, property tax breaks, down payment assistance, etc. When you own something, you tend to take care of it and you tend to invest in the community you live in.
Lots of people out there no longer support this perspective however.
