    This little social project has already been tried in Castle Hills. Many years ago, the powers that be decided that the poor people should be moved into a richer area of town so they built a whole street of subdsidized duplexes just off Larkspur. You should see that area now - it's a slum. There are boarded up windows, broken down cars, and trash all over the place. It's a huge eyesore and a haven for criminal activity.

    I can certainly understand the residents of Stone Oak using any means necessary (legally) to keep this from happening there.

    Its just not right I believe the rich people should be forced to give their car to the poor for a portion of their paycheck, of course it'll be scale sensitive, and the rich people can hitchhike or pros ute their way to work. Just to see how racist they are. Don't worry though the poor people will take extra special care of the rich mans car. Definately no philly blunt scars on the leather upholstery. Black and Milds for everyone hooray!

    Matter of fact the value of that car should and will rise.

    That area is horrible.

    Everytime we drive by there (which is often because someone we know well lives nearby) I can't believe how bad it is, so near to nice homes. It's really a true slum. There's so much trash piled outside in people's yards. There's board up houses and obvious drug use/selling going on. It's crazy.

    Eh, you're just being racist and stereo-typing those hard-working single mothers down on their luck.

    I'm offended by that last statement. Are you saying if you're down on your luck and a single hard working mom you don't deserve massive amounts of hand outs and a nice luxury apartment. Thats sooo ed up. We are all equal, even the missing links of this world.

    Yes, I know. And they have strict screening processes for subsidized housing, so the residents of Castle Hills can rest easy.

    Remember there is crime everywhere. One of those screening questions should have been.

    Do you have inclinations to park non-running vehicles under the oak tree in your front yard?

    1. Yes it looks nice thats my ride baby
    2. No only really poor people do that.
    3. Whats inclination?

    Wow. Where oh where will the wasps flee to next now that the colored people are coming to the suburbs?

    All this over 64 apartments? Women crying? You would think they wanted to reserve 64 units for known sex offenders just released from prison based on the reaction.
    __________________________________________________ ____________


    All that being said, it doesn't make much financial sense, which leaves me with this conclusion: The owners of these complexes are going to make a mint off the sale. If I were a reporter, I would be investigating the link between the apartment owners, the housing authority, and the agency the housing authority reports to. Who did the owners contribute campaign cash to? Are there links between that cash and the housing authority? etc.

    If people want to get all emotional, do it because the authority is at best wasting money, and at worst are incompetant or corrupt; not because 64 units in an area of well over 50,000 people will be subsidized.

    Getting out just as the real estate bubble is bursting is mighty convenient as well.

    No offense to any Stone Oakers but they're worrying about the wrong thing. Instead of focusing on a small amount of SAHA housing they should worry about inadequate infrastructure and crappy decorated strip centers that merely give a "perceived" (as someone mentioned earlier) impression of a ritzy neighborhood.

    Give Stone Oak ten years and it's going to look like like the hole that was once known as The Great Northwest in the 80's. When I think upscale or upper class Stone Oak is not the first thing that comes to mind.

    If you truly believe that SAHA residents are all jobless, criminal and non tax paying low lifes you better also believe that "rich" Stone Oakers are stuck up, racist and greedy fat s.

    Personally, the Stone Oak area could use a few Taqueria Jalisco's.

    One of the apartment complexes in question:



    BTW, both apartment complexes are outside of Stone Oak. So why is Stone Oak being mentioned with this argument so much?

    That's like comparing apples with rocks.

    One is an area of the city the other is a throughly masterplanned community.

    When I think upscale or upper class Stone Oak is not the first thing that comes to mind.
    The median househole income in Stone Oak is over 100,000 dollars. How is that not upper class?

    100K dollars a year isn't that much...
