In the real world, it turns out that there's this complex in Aurora, Colorado called the Edge at Lowry Apartments. And after the police looked into some of these salacious claims that were going around, they found that a gang had not actually taken over the apartments and turned it into their headquarters. The police said, quote, we've been talking to the residents here and learning from them to find out what exactly is going on, and there's definitely a different picture. It appears that there are some gang members who live in the complex, possibly, but they weren't running it and extorting all the other people there. What it appears is that there's a shitty landlord who owns the complex, and they've been exploiting the immigrant tenants and have been blaming the shitty conditions of their units on exaggerations of gang activity. What? Denverite spoke to the people living there and reported, quote, we learned the apartment buildings have been in terrible shape for years and still are. Many residents say they're not scared of gangs, instead saying that they fear the owners of the complex. I'll just read to you here from this Denverite article. Quote, for years, residents of several of these buildings have complained about rat, mice, and insects, concerns over crime, and poor treatment by management. All that predates the arrival of tens of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants in the Denver area. For the past two years, Aurora has been working to get the property owners into compliance with the law, said Jessica Prosser, Aurora's director of housing and community services, at a press conference in August. Many newly arrived Venezuelans and other Spanish-speaking immigrants were placed into those apartments by non-profits. Those homes, as uninhabitable as many of the units may be, are among the few that are affordable to newly arriving immigrant families. So, while it does appear that there is a gang presence in Aurora and maybe even some crime at this complex, what seems to be happening is that the landlords in New York, who are already facing legal actions from the city because of their negligence and mismanagement, they are making these stories up. It appears that they've decided to use the immigrant population they are slumlords over as a scapegoat.
