6. I would actually live there as a renter.

If it gets me a nice apt. in a great location that I otherwise could not afford, I'd be totally okay with it. I understand. The rich ones have a separate entrance so that the existence of the "poor" ones don't interfere with the status of the complex...or the rich ones won't buy there.

I'd prefer to use the rich entrance, but it's enough I get one of the nice apartments in a great location.

Owners having use of amenities that renters do not seems normal to me; I'd think this is common throughout the country. They're not owners. They aren't paying what the owners are paying. If the pool gets damaged, a renter can move away from the problem, while the owners have to pay to fix it.

This is as much a distinction of owner vs. renter, as it is income. I've been a condo owner and an apt renter. There is a big difference.
