So Im a leasing consultant for several apartment complexes in the cities of Southfield And Oakpark. Our occupancy is stuck at 78% due to an ever changing demographic of low income section 8 residents who have fled Detroit for free heat and easy assess to super guetto k mart. The only new businesses that have opened in the area are family dollar and plazma doner centers.

Domestic violence, Break-ins, destruction of property and lack of efficient rent payments have brought us to our knees.The owner has little desire to upgrade the sites, tired of throwing good money at bad situations, so as Detroit continues to empty out, the suburbs find new challanges. any comments?
