Why is the most valuable realestate at LSU a ghetto dump?

Wow
I’m not the smartest guy I the world but this place
Looks like a gold mine with some
Bulldozers and trackhoes and new construction
What a shame

Guaranteed section 8 income slumlord apartments can also be gold mines

College students rent around there?

When I was a student, I lived in Tigerland. There was still the concept of the poor college kid eating Totinos pizzas and living in $350/mo apartments.
Tigerland was 95% college kids at the time. I think TOPS changed a lot of that. Demand for slummy apartments dropped, they turned Section 8 and here we are.
Someone needs to buy them all and bulldoze them.

Tigerland in the mid 70’s was the place to live

Why?
It would be racist to bulldoze every thing there.

I was there in the mid to late 90s and it was fine. Maybe towards the end you could see the writing on the wall. Tiger Plaza was well above my budget

40yrs ago I lived on Brightside. Not sure I’d drive down that way without a fully armed HMMWV nowadays…

It's right next to where LSU is considering building a new basketball arena. It's walkable from campus, and historically a student area that went ghetto, and it's bad ghetto, like regular murders and shootings ghetto.

The apartments also got old and run down and students moved to the newer ones.
Gardere had the same fate.

I think the ones I lived in were built in the 60s and this was in 96-99. It wasn't ghetto yet though, but definitely rundown. We had potholes in the parking lot you could get stuck in
You could see it starting to change by 99, but I do think TOPS had something to do with that. People all of the sudden had more money for housing when they were spending less on tuition.
Maybe LSU can buy it if they build the new arena there? It will be called racist if they do though.

Wrong. Savings and Loan collapse caused Tigerland and Gardere to go Sec 8. The apartments were sold for pennies on the dollar and the buyers made them Sec 8. They stole them and it was more profitable to let them go ghetto.

TOPS and immediately available government student loans to anyone who requests it.
Which is also why college tuition has been increasing so much over the past 25 years.

Gardere was the shiny new neighborhood but didn’t last long. I knew a guy who came from Arizona for grad school. He rented a place sight unseen on Gardere. He drove up to the apartment complex in his U-Haul and kept driving.
