LOL that actually made the news. I was watching the news and it reported that from May 2013 up till July 2014 there were over 720 incidents where people have to call 911 in that area due to thief, crime, drug abuse etc etc.... that's almost twice a day! And that's just calls to the police I am sure there are many many incidents where it was not reported to the police.
What I don't understand how come those low income housing people gets to live in a 700k + apartment while I work hard for my money but can't even afford such places? If the gov wants to help these people build them affordable housing elsewhere that is much much cheaper such as mission, hope, detla etc etc.... why waste prime real estate location?
My company provide cable to one of those co op housing and is a nightmare. You have people who don't have their bills for months and when you cut them off them come to your office and threaten you (we have to call police twice due to this). Their unit is also very dangerous (fill with needles, not clean, bed bugs) Our techs have refuse to complete install or even go into the suite due to this and the people gets piss coz they don't bother to take 30mins to at least tidy their units. So what do we do? No more co op housing for us and we only do basic cable there now so none of our techs needs to deal with this.
A co-worker who also rents near a co op building and he have since moved due all the mess. There are fights at night, people screaming, doing drugs on the street, selling drugs. One time he even saw an attempted murder there. And he lived 2 streets form a co op housing. Image living with them.
