From the beginning I had bad experiences. First of all the constant salsa music gives one the impression that you are waking up in Chi-Chis restaurant. Better than booming rap by far, though! None of the the tenants speak english and they pack about 6 people into the one and 2 bedroom apts. This makes for lots of people hanging out of the windows and gawking at you and whistling as you walk past. Lots of latinos just basically hanging around in the parking lots w/ their music blaring and staring down every human that walks past. Not an easy feeling taking a casual walk through the ol neighborhood as a woman. I have found human feces behind dumpsters and broken glass from the nightly Corona parties makes walking your dog a trechorous adventure. There were many many days where I wouldnt have hot water, but when I complained they did comp my rent for those days. The management staff is straight out of high school or just off the short bus: their invoices have spelling errors!

Police activity is almost everyday and twice a month the paramedics roll through. The noise level from the street is, to me, unbearable! Since many dayworkers live there their rides sit outside and honk their horns starting around 5am which spills over into the weekends as well. Invest in a pair of good earplugs!

Their "secure buildings" are a joke. You pay a $100 deposit for the key to your main apt building and for the entire time I"ve been there it has been vandalized 3 times. The maintanence gave up so anyone can get to your door...including dangerous solicitors! Women beware! If you choose to live there, get a big dog!!

How did you know it was human feces?? Was that done by a taste-test?

I just have to say that everyone keeps mentioning the Latinos and making stupid comments like Lationville. That just sounds like a bunch of RACIST BULLSHI*. You can talk about the neighbors being bad or whatever but race has nothing to do with it. White, Black, Asian and any other race can do the same things so don't act like it's just the Latinos, or --------.

There's no denial as to who did it when it comes to blasting the horn in the parking lots. It's just obvious because most people can look out their window and see that. There are other alternatives such as a cell phone that ones can use instead of blasting the horn the morning.
We all can help each other out by doing something good for the neighborhood instead of pointing finger elsewhere.
