) - The Mobile Housing Authority gets the green light to tear down two housing developments: Thomas James Place and R.V. Taylor Plaza.
“We’re supposed to be step to step with everything that’s happening with the demolition, but that has not been the case,” said Estella Trotter, Thomas James Place resident.“It’s no surprise... Everything is really a done deal before we come to the table,” said Trotter. “Floor about to fall in. Floor fell in... Floors about to fall in... All are just about to fall in,” explained Trotter as she pointed to several houses.“We are living in Thomas James in condemned apartments and have been for a very long time. They won’t use the word condemned -- but they purposefully let the property rot because they want the property,” said Trotter.
“Dirty deals. They wanted the land. So let it rot. Just like they did with Roger Williams where it will be in such bad shape to the point where -- you could say we shouldn’t invest any money. It’s just cheaper to move them out,” said Trotter. That Zoom meeting -- will be this Wednesday at noon. Residents are also not pleased with a virtual meeting -- they would rather it be in person.
There is no central air conditioning in half of the units. In those units, residents may purchase window units that often block egress from bedrooms. When not installed properly, the window units rot out windowsills and walls due to moisture.In addition, sewer back-ups are almost a daily occurrence.
