Thanks. I had to do the same at Eielson AFB. Rented an off base house after about a year of poor service by them.
I heard a rumor, so I am not 100% sure this happened, but it sounds so typical, I believe it could be. When Mather closed, the base housing was then used for homeless housing. I heard the city was sued, saying the housing was substandard and not good enough for the homeless. I don’t know for sure about this, but it sounds like it could be.
