Kind of hard to know how to respond. Mr. Graff is obviously not open to reason, or reasonable standards of decency, and the people he has smeared may not read this paper. 
Crime exists, and those who hurt themselves and their neighbors deserve to be caught and punished. 
But the real crime here is, as I said, the smearing of fine people living in Bascom Village, by Mr. Graff. They need no defense as they did nothing wrong. He did, and I wonder if any will work at defending his letter. Low income housing is incredibly valuable to those who need it. In Eugene-Springfield, the list for public housing through the housing authority is closed, as it got over six years long. 
Helping our neighbors is a good thing, and mocking them is a bad thing.
