The building is just a building, deal with the criminals and you could still have the building. Rather than relocate everyone, fix the building, kick out the criminals. Colorado is crying about affordable housing, cause everyone loves all the growth, but then they do stuff like this.
Some 30 years ago our neighborhood in Houston was rapidly deteriorating due to having an entire block of slum type apartments/quadruplexes in the center of single family homes. Across the street on one side was an elementary school. Each morning the custodian had to sweep up used condoms and drug paraphernalia before the kids arrived. On the opposite side was a middle school. Same story. There was a prison halfway house in there. There were multiple slum lord owners. Nearly every night police helicopters circled overhead and many nights police cars parked on our street with a clear view of this hellhole. Homeowners in the surrounding blocks were so fed up with city inaction on even obviois basic building code violations they came up with a plan to buy out individual owners. As each building was purchased, tenants were removed and the building razed. When the project neared completion there were a few slum lord holdouts, but the city finally took action on code violations with serious fines, etc. These greedy b@$t@rdz quickly sold out and the entire block was razed. The property was then sold and a library branch, senior daycare, YMCA campus, and professional building with parking was installed. In addition the school district installed a state of the art running track and athletic facility on the middle school side. Perhaps Aurora could do the same with these slum apartments?
@chickchoc that all sounds good, unfortunately I think many already see Aurora as a lost cause. People are more apt to just move away than they ever used to be. People that can, will just relocate to a nicer part of Denver. The local governments aren't helping either, all they can seem to do is spend ridiculous amounts on temp housing after the fact, they are incapable of thinking about the longer term and bigger picture. They also can't comprehend the idea that more people moving to the front range is not necessarily a good thing in many people's opinion. More low income transplants and migrants equals more democratic votes, so certain groups keep encouraging it. Many have been saying the front range was ruined 10 or 15 years ago, I can't imagine the situation in 20 years being any better with a projected 3 million more people moving there by 2040.

So he doesn't have proof? Makes no sense. Is he working?
What credit he's an illegal
Living for free 😂😂😂
I bet that tenant is an illegal, too. Gotta love how he doesn't even speak English.
Illegals are extremely vulnerable to extortion because they fear getting on the police radar. Violent criminals prey on non violent criminals
