The owner of that complex would do well to shut it down. The huge parties with little/no police presence is a recipe for THIS. Look for a law about Block Parties as well.
People will be wondering where all the police were. Maybe they aren't the problem after all. I'm sick of young men dying at the hands of some TPOS like this. THIS is the real tragedy facing young black men. I'm mad as hell about this!! Jakell was one of the good ones!!

Is it true they had section 8 housing in those complexes?

Is there a chance that this place, the Tiger Lodge, has some of the cheapest rents in Auburn, therefore more student athletes are inclined to live there so they can spend their leftover rent money on other things? Is that even how the stipends work?

From what others have said...yes. I'm gonna be honest there should be surplus of project/ housing authority in Auburn for the people that need it. Of course I don't know the income qualifications, but apt complexes should not be renting to section 8 in Auburn Al. That's my .02.

They don't need to be doing it anywhere near campus at the very least.

I thought between the complexes off of Dean (across from the Auburn Public Library) and the houses more towards the RR tracks, all section 08 housing was accounted for...I guess I was wrong.

Housing Authority & Section 8 probably draw from the same resources, but are not exactly the same. Section 8 allows people to go & find housing elsewhere as long as those apartments qualify (rent, code requirements, # of BRS, etc).
I rent to a lot of GHFA/Section 8 in Albany. I have mixed feelings on it. If you own a cinder block house reinforced with steel & walls made of heavy gauge aluminum I think it'll be okay. You just better be prepared to rebuild it when the tnts move out.

Shut this place down. There's a shooting there monthly it seems like. Everytime there's a shooting they just switch the name.
So far it's been:
University Village
Tiger Lodge
205
Back to Tiger lodge
I'm sure they'll change the name again.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
For those that think shutting the place down will solve anything, all that would happen is the same culture would just move to the next lowest rent area in Auburn.

Not necessarily true. Big reason there is this excess cheap housing is that people like Northcutt are building new buildings and having a big surplus of housing.
Been a big push lately to start limiting the approvals of new apartment complexes until older units are demolished

I thought only the new players were required to live on campus?
Posted on 12/14/14 at 10:06 am to AUNashville
I believe it is only Seniors that live off campus.

I thought they changed it to everybody lives on campus after they built the South Donahue dorms. I have no idea though

The problem isn't the Complex itself per se, it's the huge parties with tons of people from Montgomery/Columbus etc. with no ties to the school showing up.

It was the exchange when I was in school (mid 2000s)... wasn't a bad place to hang out... went to the pool several times. crazy what has happened there the last few years.

It wasn't a bad place to live. I assume all my friends lived there because the rent was cheap.
