"But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let's face it, it's low-income people who have this problem — that's a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes."

You are not going to find a big group of homeowners who want to rent at a loss out of the goodness of their own hearts.

You do often find big groups of homeowners who want to charge just enough to cover current and future expenses. They're called coops and condominiums. Homeowners who practice collectivism can reduce their expenses and increase their security.
