So What's the Big Secret?

All too often, while corporations are under government contracts or receiving government funds, they're quietly allowed to violate vulnerable consumers and laws. Certain CEOs and corporations are secretly influencing American politics with large amounts of money.

Carvings, Dings, and Other Things

      If you're parking a vehicle overnight in the lots along Hannah Way and Martha Drive in Rockland, Mass., please be aware vehicles get vandalized on this mismanaged, subsidized property.  Lug nuts get loosened. Tires get slashed; hoods, trunks, and doors get dented and gouged. Who are the vandals? .... Perhaps slanderous strays who come out after day to spell, scratch, and carve foul phrases on cars?  Over the years, I've read some gruesome graffiti gouged into tenants personal property.  Last year, the property manager of Rockland Place simply advised residents to always check each one of their nuts before driving away.
     Early Friday evening, February 3, 2012, a noisy crowd gathered at 34 Martha Drive to witness another 'disturbance'. Some people grew distraught at the thought of this chaotic incident possibly turning into another blood bath like the violent slashing inside building 63 Martha Drive last year.  Officials from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Dept. and BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) snapped photos and investigated.
     Promised on-site security cameras in common areas might help Management and local Police better define and resolve some of the ongoing safety issues at this troublesome housing complex.  In the meantime, Rockland Place dba SpringGate Apts. remains a liability, instead of an asset, to civilized citizens in the Town of Rockland.

YIKES!

First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year for 2012.   If you're living at Rockland Place Apartments dba Spring Gate Apartments, I wish you a better place to live before your suffering begins.... (or is it too late already?)
     I can't believe I was startled from my sleep again.  I had another nightmare where I thought I was living at Rockland Place Apartments in Rockland, Mass. YIKES!
     Strangely enough, most of my nightmares are reality-based.   Around 3:00 this morning, I dreamed of boarded up hallway windows with clouds of black smoke inside my apartment and hallway again.  Head-of-maintenance torched another building and displaced more low-income residents. She ditched the plumber's torch in a closet and took off out of the building while laughing at a 3-year-old girl who was terrified by the fire alarms sounding.  (The fire alarms worked appropriately in the nightmare.)
     Believe it or not, some of my ongoing nightmares are actually more pleasant than the realities of living in subsidized housing. At least in my nightmare, the unlicensed torch-bearer was fired from her job so she couldn't harm any other tenants. In reality though, this maintenance person was promoted to property manager.  YIKES again!
     I thought by now I'd be able to forget the chaos, the fires, and the property managers' abusive and unethical tactics at that subsidized housing complex. I guess I'm still recovering.  Living at Rockland Place dba SpringGate has been a costly, never-ending nightmare.  For some reason, corporate owners and management have little need to comply with laws and lease agreements; probably due to their powerful associations and substantial political campaign contributions.

The Business of Subsidizing Businesses

What's going on inside affordable housing complexes besides illegal drug deals?  Could money be laundered through subsidized housing and/or their businesses?  Under the following names, these businesses are not seen as being incorporated in Massachusetts.  So why is there evidence of commercial transport businesses and a storage facility inside a subsidized housing complex? Here are the newest business listings at the subsidized Rockland Place dba SpringGate Apartments, as currently listed at http://www.manta.com . . .
