[E. Pluribus Unum]

You think they’re bad now?

Just let the government take them over and run them and see what happens.

[Signalman]

This sounds like a movie I saw a number of years ago with Joe Pesci playing a slumlord who was like this guy. Can’t remember the name of the movie, though.

Just let the government take them over and run them and see what happens.

Made me think of Chicago's Cabrini Green, although every big democrat city has similar hell-holes

the advantage of government is that they can simply tear-down and bulldoze-over their slumlord history, move them somewhere else, and act like it never happened.

“The Super”?

[lee martell]

Surprisingly, no face pic of the landlord.

[rktman]

“Forcing”?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

St. Louis had Pruitt-Igoe.

[yldstrk]

Fix them up by spending thousands of dollars and then what? You couldn’t pay me enough to be a landlord.

Eddie Murphy had an opinion on this.

Hmmmm.

No pic at source of the ‘slumlord’, no imagery in the dm linked video report, no indisputable pic of the con in search results via media outlets.

Odd.

[PGR88]

Detroit had Brewster-Douglass

Boston had the Orchard Park Projects

Buffalo had the Commodore Perry Street Homes

Cincinnati had Laurel Homes and Lincoln Court

It like science - everywhere the progressive-socialist social-engineering experiment was tried, the result was the same

[DPMD]

San Fran has Hunter’s Point and Potrero Hill.

[FoxInSocks]

Cabrini-Green in Chicago was infamously bad, probably the worst of all.

[FoxInSocks]

Oh, I didn’t see post 4. Let me add Marcy in Brooklyn, then — if not already mentioned!

[9YearLurker]

Plenty of examples of that already in NYC—and this guy fell below even that standard.

[TalBlack]

If he fixed the apts up what could he rent them for? Is it an open market. Can he sell or is no one stupid enough to take on their inevitable not so silent dictatorial partner NYC/NYS?

[monkeyshine]

Slumlords go to jail. People who chop up a couple of bodies inside the slum walk free.

[imardmd1]

Were the courts forcing any of the slum-dwellers to pay their rent or be vacated? One wonders, because that is the part of the story that shoud be required to publish anything about the issue..
