Portview Apartments

Its a Subsidized public housing. So remember to expect shootings, unsupervised children that destroy the place, druggies, cars with no licence plates, people with 10+ cats who dump them and throw them off 3 story balconies. they allow tenants to smoke in non smoking buildings. The apartments themselves could alteast be built up better. Most of the bottom tenants get flooded out everytime it rains, too expensive for them to instal french drains, but not expensive to replace carpets and paint over damaged walls and ceilings. Sliding door frames are not even, causes problems. They cut down the trees to " have better security access" but did nothing when drug deals were being made in the parking lot, or to prevent crime. Just rethink moving to section 8/hud if your raising a child. My advice would be to find a cheap affordable studio or one bedroom thats not section 8 or hud. Think about how much your paying.. 30% of your monthly income before taxes. so if your making $1000 and paying for health care and taxes, as well as a vehicle, (theres no bus line in a 3 mile radius) dont expect to have anything left for utilities after forking over everything you have remaining. Lets see. 1000 on average lets say with medical and taxes you get 900, then take out 200 for car insurance, 200 for cable, and take out the 30% from the 1000 (300) that leaves you with 200 left for electric and food and supplies. DO-THE-MATH. ALL THIS for a poor apartment with people you think are going to kill you or hang themselves or OD.
