I was told of a report on Channel 48 last Friday, that the water had been turned off to Wildwood Apartments. As I missed the local news tonight, was that an update on this story?

Um sorry Unclegus -- they are in my district and they are not 100% occupied but do stay 75% occupied. They are not section 8 housing, but they have cheap rent -- somewhere around $300 I think. When I was in college they had lots of college kids, but it's more just low-income families and shady characters now. The good people that do live there, do so because they can't afford anything else. The buses that stop there have 15-20 kids that get on it...
They should have been knocked down several years ago but that particular council woman gave the "new owners" at the time a chance to make them better.

I always feel bad for the good people that get caught up in this kind of scenario, having to find affordable housing last minute for their families. One would have to be really down and out to have to live in a place like that, especailly trying to raise children there. I hope the good people can find housing they can afford somewhere else, hopefully somewhere a lot more livable. The nasty drug dealing mean ones can go suck eggs.
