2. Housing is already an issue. Having to close a 60 unit complex sucks for those who live there.

The expected closure of the Edge of Lowry apartments follows attempts by the buildings’ owners and property managers to blame poor living conditions on Tren de Aragua, which they alleged had taken over the property.

“This complex is an incredibly problematic complex, it is an incredibly crime-riddled complex,” Chamberlain said Tuesday.

Aurora police have acknowledged the gang’s presence at the Edge of Lowry and other apartment buildings, and the closure deal reached in court this month resolves the city’s efforts to have the complex labeled a criminal nuisance and shut down. Both sides are due back in court next month.

During Tuesday’s news conference, Chamberlain blamed the apartment owners’ mismanagement of the complex, lack of oversight and already terrible living conditions for allowing gangs to take root and the neighborhood’s crime rate to worsen.


I hope the owners are being dealt with for letting the property turn to shit!
