Wow, this shows that you don't think very highly of low-income people. I think a community of retired russian immigrants would be very pleasant.

Not at all. The housing administration had some discriminatory practices in the past that did much of what the original suggestion was. It was a disaster. You want a community to be as diverse as possible across any sort of metric (income, race, religion, etc).
