Now they can sexually assault each other in jail.

As if we don't have enough bad apples of our own, we have to put up with the Lompton posse.
COMMENT 322973	2012-09-22 10:40 AM
So this occurred at the Housing Auths newest low-income/recent foster age out/recent homeless facility? Hopefully those putting on such parties and inviting in the low-lifes will be kicked out to make room for those who truly want to take advantage of this gift, work hard and turn their life around.

@973 I'm one of those people.
COMMENT 322995	2012-09-22 11:34 AM
WOW 973, you must live up "on the hill!" it's gonna sting when you fall off that horse, dude!
COMMENT 323001P	2012-09-22 11:53 AM
Actually, 973 is spot on. Unfortunately, a large number of people on various forms of welfare, including subsidized housing, couldn't care less about improving their lifestyle. A sad fact, but true.
COMMENT 323003P	2012-09-22 11:57 AM
wow, more alcohol fueled sexual assault. this is a massive surprise!
COMMENT 323005P	2012-09-22 12:07 PM
Im with 973- and i was an advocate for Artisan court- but this is outrageous......the amount of federal, state and local dollars that pour into that place, and jobs created is staggering. Housing authority- wake up.
COMMENT 323008	2012-09-22 12:15 PM
Nice! First the stabbing on the forth of July and now a rape. Artisan court seems like a failure to me. What could happen there next? Murder? I heard all of the copper down spouts installed at Artisan Court, because money's no object when the gov. spending it, were stollen for scrap metal. 100 k in copper gutters! Sounds like a good story for KEYT news.

That's the advantage of having HA housing in a commercial area such as Cota and the others intended or hoped for Haley. No neighbors to watch out on a regular basis and complain. We live near a HA unit and keep an eye on it. There's still trashing going on — you really don't want one of these in your neighborhood and why there's none near dense housing proponent Mickey Flacks on upper Garden Street! — but it's not too bad, occasional problems but not all the time.

Actually there is violent crime in good parts of town too..But it's all hush hush on the nextels..
COMMENT 323005P	2012-09-22 12:55 PM
Roger- i know what you mean, but gang rapes and murders are hard to hush up no matter what part of town. Artisan Court was supposed to assist the most vulnerable- transition aged foster youth among them. Perhaps The City Housing Authority should implement 24 hr security, at least for a while, to root out the troublemakers.
COMMENT 322973	2012-09-22 01:32 PM
973 here. I don't know what's so controversial or "up the hill" about kicking out the low lifes. I didn't say shut it down but, yes, we should expect better for the probably 95% of people living there who are trying to better themselves.
COMMENT 323008	2012-09-22 01:55 PM
How about not allowing drugs, alcohol, or weapons on the property. Is that a lot to ask for taxpayer subsidized housing?
COMMENT 323051P	2012-09-22 03:01 PM
323008: Are you volunteering to enforce those rules? Pretty difficult to outlaw alcohol in someone's residence, unless they are under a court order due to some alcohol-related incident. Hard to outlaw "weapons" - which could even include a kitchen knife, but not all guns are illegally possessed. Drugs? Sure, outlaw them. But, again, who is going to be the enforcement agency? The taxpayers complain about tax dollars putting people into a nice situation and then complain that not enough tax dollars are enforcing the existing laws, and the solution is supposed to be creating NEW restrictions? Just seems unenforceable, to me. I could be wrong, it's happened before.
COMMENT 323051P	2012-09-22 03:02 PM
Whoops, I quoted the wrong post #, but the message remains the same.
COMMENT 323008	2012-09-22 03:12 PM
Easy to enforce. First the HA makes it policy then these rules are written into the tenants leases. The property manager and good tenants keep their eyes open and rat out the trouble makers. Iv'e talked to people that live their and it sounds like it's becoming a real party complex. Sure was nice when there was a business operating from that location. Nice and quiet and providing jobs.
ROGER DODGER	2012-09-22 04:35 PM
Thats true if your on housing and the police show up at your place too much something is done, people get evicted..
COMMENT 322972	2012-09-23 08:47 AM
How about requiring mayor Schneider and police chief Sanchez to live there for a year?
COMMENT 323003P	2012-09-23 09:28 AM
love the idea 322972, if this complex is taxpayer subsidized just like their salaries they shouldn't have any problem maximizing the resources, right?
COMMENT 323553	2012-09-24 09:41 AM
What about the two that helped coax the victim and then stood by while this all took place? Seems like they could be charged as accomplices.
