I can tell you the main reason NW OKC is going down the toilet, The older apartment complexes are going section 8 or the property owners are renting to anyone that can produce a steady rent check. There are too many apartment complexes in OKC.

I think the city could curb the problem by simply introducing new code enforcement measures for apartment complexes. They could also put a size limit on apartment complexes in general.

Large apartment complexes are death sentences for the neighborhoods in which they are built. When the property gets too old and too costy to maintain the orginal builder sells it and moves on. A slum lord moves in and the next thing you know in come the riff-raff and low lifes who could care less about the neigborhood.

I know several Warr Acres polices officers and they all tell me their city is gone to crap because of all the section 8 and slum lord properties. Does their city council do anything about it ? No, because the property owners have the council under their thumb.
