The apartments in which she lives were sub-par 20 years ago. I cannot imagine what they are like today.
But how did she get here? Is she a refugee? My brother has rental properties in Old East Dallas. Twenty years ago he rented one of his houses to a family of Cambodian refugees.

This is the house in which the refugees lived.

The lot the house sits on is huge. You cannot see it from the front, but the backyard is so deep you can play touch football back there. This land was always zoned multi-family (duplex).

For example, this unit is a block over from my brother's property.

The poor in this country are being shafted. And they are being shafted by the elites who continue to import more poor folks from the Third World, like the refugee mentioned in the article.
Why are the elites doing this?
If that woman owns the lot she needs to sell and get outta there and into more comfortable surroundings right away.
