Host or Hostage

The Tribune predictably calls it a class clash--I call it a culture clash. You be the judge:

Low-income apartment dwellers and middle-class condo owners have shared Westhaven Park Tower since the building opened in 2006 -- an innovative setup that the city hoped would unite residents and exemplify Chicago's $1.6 billion overhaul of public housing.

Proximity, however, has not led to harmony.

The most recent skirmish inside the 113-unit midrise on Hermitage Avenue on the West Side concerned building security. Another flare-up centered on the proper use of the lobby: Public housing residents -- who make up a third of the building -- saw it as a place to hang out; condo owners did not.

Apparently there are some problematic "guests".

Perhaps this article may provide unexpected insight, referencing a book, "Host or Hostage--A Guide to Surviving House Guests".
