Ousted

Apartment dwellers were ousted from this complex on Redondo Avenue. Likewise the another, separated from this by one other building. Almost seems they might as well, knock the entire bldg. down ~ deep holes dug in front ~ replacing piping, I guess.

I was supposed to be moving into this complex a couple of years ago. Village PSC took me to look at apartments. Some mix-up about gate key, did not get inside. There were 3 available, he said. He had me peer in the kitchen window, front apartment. Told him I would prefer an inside one ~ the front door is (was) outside the gate and I feared people constantly knocking on that, or the kitchen window.

Do not know why ~ never got to view the other two available apartments. Next he told me that the Village bought the building and I had to wait until after closing before I could get one of the apartments. Some snag in closing procedure ~ more weeks went by. Then was told that the Village was remodeling and I could wait until after it was completed. "May take a year," he told me.

So we continued looking and I moved 'round the corner from this building. Do believe the remodel was put off a bit over two years!

Most of the tenants in the building were from the Village and previously homeless. I wonder if Village workers were able to help them find new affordable apartments or if any are, now, once again living on the streets.
