The only sec8 complex I've seen worth a shite is 17232 Jefferson(Just south of Highland). It is obvious that they attract single working moms as opposed to just any lowlife who applies without a job. Its fricked up though b/c across the street at 17505 Jefferson is not sec 8. Cost more and it's not nearly as nice.

17232 Jefferson


You mean 'The Reserve'? That is appropriately named too, after Reserve, La. and Reserve the old all black high school down in West St. John.

I used to live in Azalea Lake sub. down the street and every morning I almost hit one of those kids running across the street coming from the donut store. It is still dark. You don't know how many wreck there have been there.

Highland Club apartments used to be nice. Not sure what they're like these days. How about The Gates? I remember a bunch of No Limit rappers used to live up in there.

When he wasn't doing his "get off my lawn" shtick.

That jackass threatened me with violence for cutting through his parking lot, which I never did.

And St Jean is the good area....the REAL ghetto is the duplexes on O'Neal Lane. There is some really bad $hit going on there.

I'm pretty sure they were set to be section 8 from the beginning. The signs in yards before they were built said this. So maybe they let regular tenants lease first. Then opened up to Sec 8. But the locals knew it would be Sec 8 before the first apartment was leased.

You remember i lived there. Was the first person to move into my APT. Stayed there 7 months on a 1 year lease. shite got bad at the 6 month mark for that entire complex. They somehow found some sort of loophole in the system where they could lie at the community meetings and tell everyone the complex would not go section 8 because of how hard the local community fought them. After 6 months they re wrote the paperwork and the whole complex went section 8.

When i moved out the layer of sheen on the pool surface was so thick you could bounce a baby of fit.

rue story, I used to live there, right when it opened up. Had a roommate and we stayed in a building essentially all to ourselves. Then we got neighbors, former Woodlawn High graduates.

Made for a very good time. Then the guys above us moved out and let's just say a less desirable crowd starting gathering in, as in poor white trash.

We moved out rather quickly.
we seriously had fun there for the 1st 6 months.

Didn't most of Tigerland go to Section 8 recently, or am I jumping to conclusions because of the increased number of murders in the area?

There's one sizeable Section 8 complex back there and the denizens of that complex are taking advantage of the target rich environment that surrounds them.

Disagree completely...leave it at that.

Well it not like it was the reason why he closed.


He closed over property issues with the city when they started expanding Oneal. As of last year, his lawsuit against the city was still ongoing at appellate level...just fyi
