There is a hint in the article about excessively generous vouchers being used to bust the cap on rent stabilization, which may be the real game here. It's probably a form of "blockbusting", clever in that the investors have figured out how to trick the taxpayers into paying for it.

...it would be hard to pinpoint a moment when things took a turn for the worse at Sedgwick Gardens...I don't suppose it could have been when the first homeless people moved in, could it?

Evidence of SJW with power, who have gone postal.
Any adult with any savvy would have known this is exactly what was to be expected from this sort of effort.
People involved with setting this up will now be the ones who will come up with fixes that will be equally bad or worse in the end.
They should be jettisoned from any position of authority from here on out.

Segwick Gardens used to be nice like 8-9 yrs ago. I have been there.

Hussein lives there, no?Not in Sedgewick Gardens, no. He is in a walled fortress protected for life by the taxpayer-funded Secret Service.

Today’s NSS (NO Sh** Sherlock) Award goes to the mental midget nitwits in WDC who came up with this worthless “idea”. Captain Obvious will be presenting the award later this afternoon.

I phrased my previous answer badly. Anyone could see it coming. But you need an advanced degree in a soft science to turn a blind eye to it.

Some tenants have fled. "Some"? I can imagine. The rest are paying premium rents for a deteriorating environment provided by social justice. And as long as they keep voting for the idiots who do this sort of thing the problem will get worse.
To: Reily
Sounds like theyre trying to turn an upscale apartment building into an asylum. If you can move yourself out to a new home, its proof of your (relative) sanity.
