Lighthouse Bay housing complex should shut down, regroup and start fresh. Next time around, I recommend never allowing any Section-8/housing voucher tenants. They always bring entire communities down. It's very sad, but always true.

In all reality its everyone from Texas, and New Orleans that brought Jacksonville down. Yes, HUD/Section 8 should not be accepted anywhere! All those kind of people do is take advantage of the Government and Tax Payers that actually WORK for a living! At ANY apartment complex there are those type of people that bring in the LOW LIFE's that are causing all of the crimes PERIOD! And I'm not a racist whatsoever, but all of the ------- Americans are the ones that are giving themselves a very bad name. The Caucasions and the other race are the actual victims. These young kids also need to get a reality check BIG TIME, and they are that way because they're PATHETIC PARENTS don't care what they do and where they go. Those are the type of kids that belong in Juvenile Detention Center!!! Apartment complex's do what they can and they can only do so much, but a lot of Residents don't care about keeping thier community CLEAN, SAFE, and there is NO RESPECT! TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, thats all. We could all live in a better place, if you participate in doing so. People that have dogs...PICK UP YOUR MESS! People that have parties...DON"T DRAW ATTENTION TO YOUR SELF! People that have kids...BE A PARENT AND TAKE CARE OF THEM! People that want when they want it...YOU LIVE IN AMERICA, YOUR NOT RICH, SO ACCEPT WHAT IS GIVEN TO YOU! People that complain about staff...WHY DON"T YOU TRY DOING THIER JOB AND SEE HOW IT FEELS TO ALWAYS GET DISRESPECTED!!!!! YOU ARE NOT ROYALTY< SO GET OVER IT! They majority of people that complain, are the same people that don't pay thier rent!!!

Anonymous, stop flooding everyones reviews that you disagree with about this place. Just say you have had no problems. Why do you have to insult everyone and go on about things you know nothing about?

I am also familiar with Lighthouse from the mid-1990s when it was run by Century 21 (my cousin lived there at the time), and the simple truth of the matter is that it was poor management which forced Lighthouse to start accepting Section 8 and that it was similarly poor management that Lighthouse was ill-prepared to make the adjustments necessary to participate in the Section 8 Program without it causing the Property to degenerate the way it has. The are many Properties throughout Jax -- in neighborhoods as affluent as Baymeadows -- that manage to participate in the Section 8 Program without degenerating into drug & crime infested slums, as Lighthouse has been doing for many years now (if you have any doubts regarding this matter, check the reviews here for Hunter's Ridge at Deerwood, as this is a Property which has accepted Section 8 for years now). The very plain truth of the matter is that there are several Public Housing Developments on the other side of the St. John's River that are better-maintained than many (if not most) Properties in Baymeadows -- including those that don't participate in the Section 8 Program. Also, it is patently clear that the COJ fully intends to ensure that Lighthouse degenerates to the point where it will indeed need to be condemned, so that it can be rebuilt into an upper-scale Complex to set the stage for making another attempt to use Lighthouse as a stepping-stone towards developing the entire area surrounding Regency Square Mall into as affluent a neighborhood as Baymeadows & Vicinity are to Avenues Mall, since the 2 Indoor Malls are pretty much the only things Jax has going for it on this side of the St. John's River. As for the implication that low-income Citizens of non-European-Descent are all "low-lifes", it never ceases to amaze me how a Race whose entire sense of being revolves around perfecting its ability to embrace impurity and reject purity -- by relentlessly developing its ability to feel that they can't ever be anything more than appearances to its absolute fullest at the expense of those Races least well-equipped to do so -- can ever find anything to make accusations against those Races over; especially if the accusations involve the discomfort of those Races with participating in a Nation created by that Race specifically to advance such a concept (or an entire world founded on the same concept through the same Race, for that matter).
