My friend used to live in Longleaf and she said that a lot of Tuskegee kids hang out there. She said it has gotten worse there.
I guess the "mean streets" of Cobb Cty just haven't prepared the Auburn undergraduates for having to live along side…gasp…poor people.

Perhaps you have it backwards and the mean streets of Tuskegee haven't prepared their poor people for having to live along side civilized Auburn undergraduates.

Prayers sent to the victims family. What a tragedy.
I don;t know the area, so I'm just going off the comments of others. If they were decent apartments to begin with, and if there was sufficient demand, I don't understand why they would ever have started taking Section 8. I own rentals in a college town, and I never have and never will. Once you start down that road, it's a dead end. I imagine that now they will start to lose all of there "good" Auburn students, and by good, I mean students who pay their rent on time, take care of the property, and don't cause problems. Once is a coincidence. Twice isn't. But if I'm a student living there, it doesn't matter; I'm getting the hell out. And those good tenants will be replaced with more Section 8s. And yeah, I'd make the place off limits.
