Our back yard has a lot of house finches.  We feed them every
winter.
Although they are numerous, they do not seem to compete with
other birds at the feeder, since we also have cardinals,
chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, white-throated sparrows,
mourning doves, song sparrows, goldfinches, and an occasional
rufous-sided towhee feeding as well.

We also have plenty of birds nesting near us in spring and
summer, so it doesn't appear that they are taking over nest
sites.
