Legally I’m not sure what can really be done.
Can't someone with a lot of money just buy it, level the apartments/housing in question and just build student housing there? Or do they have to keep it as Section 8 no matter what?

It could be bought but I think there are limits to how the properties could be emptied out.
They can’t evict Section 8 en masse, nor would other tenants want to move in while that element was still there. It would probably be a protracted process of not filling vacancies as they occur and doing whatever possible to “encourage” people to leave.

well if murder isn't a deterrent i don't think anything can be done to encourage.

The kinds of people who would be staying around are likely the ones doing the killing rather than the dying.

Someone would have to be crazy to dump that much money and effort into building student housing in that area. Especially with the land already available around campus to build on

Louisiana is such a shithole. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves

Well, hello former neighbor.
I remember Silvia. Thought her family was from El Salvador, though. Posted on 11/7/19 at 1:27 am to TheCaterpillar
Baton Rouge has a building code restriction that limits any development in the area to a max of four stories, hence why that area will never get redeveloped. If they lifted that absurd restriction, we might see a little gentrification.

Another alternative would be for the city to condemn the buildings as blighted, and hopefully the owner would just demolish them instead of trying to fix them up. A lot of those buildings are in bad shape.

Why don't we all just pull a switch a roo and start robbing them?

That area has had a really bad month. The shooting that killed two people, the cop firing at a suspect yesterday, and now another body being dropped. I wish LSU could actually do something about it
They could do what the rest of us are doing: Get the frick out of this shithole city.

just curious but why is it in place for just that area? Right across Nicholson has several 4+ story buildings

Good god
Tiger land was a shite hole before Katrina
Yep. I delivered pizzas from 95-99 from the old Pizza Hut on Nicholson at E Boyd(Smalls Sliders now).
Tops created influx of students and apartment boom. New apartments made most of Tigerland go to shite by 97-98.
Tiger Plaza and a few complexes back there did some major overhauls/renovations and put up gates to stay afloat.
But yea Katrina did NOT do this.

Wasn't that a Rotollo's at some point?
Posted on 11/7/19 at 9:55 am to Niles
Yep, Rotollo's was in that location for at least a few years if not longer

Section 8 should be relegated to N. Baton Rouge imo. Quit transporting this shite to nice areas.
Posted on 11/7/19 at 3:28 pm to Ed Osteen
I don't know the history of the policy... But being that it's Baton Rouge, I imagine very little thought was put into the decision.
