Those apartments should have been condemed long time ago.A haven for drugs and low life people to hang out.The city of lauderhill should tear them down and build homes for middle class people. The low income people are why the deep side of lauderhill is the way it is. There are some quality people still living in this area, but we are tired of the bad element that has been allowed to flourish in the city.Stop section8 rentals and maybe the city can trive again.

So lauderhill kicked out 300 low income residents, to buy a property- to provide housing for 300 low income residents?

Didnt a woman just get murdered in the villas? Didnt a baby get shot in the villas last year? The only "laugh out loud matter" Faranda should discuss is the police departments contract.

These cities already have affordable housing, it's called existing mobile home parks. The city of Coconut Creek ran code enforcement fines on the Coral Lake mobile home park out to $500,000. and extorted the owner into selling to a developer with threats of foreclosure. When this was brought to the attention of higher pols it was ignored. Later half the fine amount was found to be for made up violations (missing tax stickers) for which fines are not the proper legal course of action as they must be reported to the property appraisers office. Last year they tried fines for contamination of sewer water with ground water against the Deerfield Lake and Hillsboro Palms mobile home parks, the Hillsboro Palms park is now in the process of closing. Deerfield Lake mhp was able to find and repair the problem even though the city refused to send the camera truck to inspect the lines they claimmed were leaking. The special magistrates that hear these cases are required to enforce local code even if they know it is bogus.

My suggestion to the City Commisioners and the City Manager, Chuck Faranda is to take care of your Police Officers by giving them a NICE CONTRACT and also providing each officer a house at the Villas to deter and reduce crimes with constant police presence. Utilize your police force to reduce crimes and to increase the value of your property. Over the years, the Villas was well known with too many SHOOTINGS & KILLINGS, and drug activities.

"James Anderson, an eminent domain attorney in Tallahassee, said a city condemning a property as a nuisance or hazard differs from condemning it under eminent domain to renovate blighted areas. He said the first type of condemnation wouldn't prohibit a city from later buying the site for private redevelopment."

This is for everyone whose too ignorant to understand what's going on. It's spelled out in full detail right there. Legally, we can't confiscate, but we can legally condemn it, then take it, at a cheaper price mind you. Hellooooooooo citizens, wake up!

This is what I figure the plan was for Stonebridge Gardens, the still unfinished condo complex on 55th Avenue in Lauderhill. Eric Nathanson of Trans Global Realty may or may not be a pal of Kaplan & Crew but, if not, he stands to lose a bundle on the 2-3 dozen condos he bought. The city has placed every impediment in the path of those who still own property there getting repairs done stemming from Hurricane Wima. Many went bankrupt and Lauderhill officials are highly suspect of unethical activities in the matter. Investigate ALL of them!
