Violence and drug sales take place on many MHFA and HUD financed properties, maybe because it takes at least 4+ years to install promised security cameras on their nuisance properties. Whether you call it Spring Gate or Rockland Place, addicts and resellers still know where to buy the stuff. This 204-unit Rockland multifamily complex remains without security cameras and still has no police substation! (Click on image.)
Another serious incident took place at Spring Gate Apartments on July 20, 2010. People insist a gun was fired around 7:30 pm at the PLAYGROUND; yet, there was no mention of this shooting in any newspaper article. There was also no mention of which residents were involved. Rockland Police and an Abington ambulance remained in the area for over an hour.
Two Rockland males were arrested after allegedly robbing someone at gunpoint during a drug deal at the HUD subsidized Rockland Place, located on Hannah Way and Martha Drive, Rockland, MA.

Why are crimes by certain apartment dwellers usually minimized and swept under the government-funded carpets? Why do government agencies, Rockland Place hedge fund partners and management offer false hope and security to vulnerable Spring Gate residents when more funds are to be had? They PRETEND to want resolve to ongoing crime issues by using the same cycle of inadequate procedures. All the while, corporate partners collect higher rents and tax credits, and political campaigns receive larger 'contributions'. Somehow, quality-of-life for concerned and vulnerable low-income citizens gets lost in the shuffle. In private, officials answer legitimately concerned residents with snide comments like, 'there are worse places to live', AND, 'you can always move if you don't like it'.
