re: City of Shreveport to shut off water to 3 apartment complexes next week

quote:

All 3 properties are owned by the same dude out of NYC.

Apparently the property manager at Quail Creek put a sign on the door that they were closed and the entire staff left the property. They said they have a serious issue with squatters and residents refusing to pay rent. Some owed more than $16K in back rent.


Would you be surprised if I told you all 3 are Section 8 housing?


This was announced yesterday. There was a shooting at Quail Creek last night. Crime was already bad there. This is going to make it the Wild West.

This is probably the first step towards action items being taken by the city towards shutting them down. So eventually new management or possibly even being demolished or redeveloped.

There is a similar complex in Tigerland in Baton Rouge that was shut down and will hopefully be redeveloped. But just it being empty has been a huge help. If that fate met about 3 other similar, smaller complexes in that area....it will be a huge net positive.
