Mostly they spend their time running from one call to the next. Thanks to the sorry state of our basic human services, shit economy, and infinite money for jails but none for treatment philosophy of our leadership. It basically is one vicious circle.

Our leadership is straight up incompetent in this regard. 10 million + for a giant gas station (that does not allow Semi-trucks which we actually might have needed) when we have plenty of them already. 16 million + for a sports ball stadium that cannot meet its own operating costs. Yet how much for addiction treatment? Mental health care? Sidewalks, bike lanes, public transport to make it easier for poor folk to get to job's or services? And so forth, you know things that are actually proven to work to help stop crime.

2/3 of my apartments were managed by Wooten. The first was acceptable for the part of town it was in and it was technically student living but it was still pretty crappy. The second I only lived in for 48 hours because they chose not to disclose the complex was infested with roaches. The apartment was in complete disrepair still and they had us move in while still painting and installing. Got all my money back but Wooten is sketchy asf if you don’t live directly in the middle of town.

There is actually a weekly Monday night trivia at Billiards, at 7:30 pm. Most of the time it's general trivia that leans towards pop culture, but the last Monday of the month is a theme night. Next Monday is "Parks & Rec," and the end of March is "Doctor Who."

Hey, I sincerely appreciate your reply.

While I can admit I definitely got carried away, the overall message is this: don’t intentionally escalate a situation with bad drivers. While you might think you are proving a point to them, the message is going to be lost because they don’t fundamentally understand that what they are doing is wrong, and then they get mad. It’s also not going to change their driving habits, as much as we’d like to believe that it does.

Also, sorry about your niece.

Glad it’s been good for you. The property we lived in several years ago looked nice and the initial property manager was great. However, it went downhill after she left. They couldn’t find a new property manager the entire year after. We lived with leaks from our upstairs neighbors for months and it ruined a wall in our apartment because without a manager they couldn’t schedule maintenance. The phone was never answered. I had to go down to the central office on Seminole to tell them the wall was literally soaking wet and we had a giant puddle on our floor. We also lived without hot water for several months in the winter. Worst experience I’ve ever had in an apartment complex. To move out I had to go to another apartment complex and tell them to let the Wooten Co know we were leaving. Then they took 5 months to process our move out.

I’ve lived in three different Wooten apartments, first one was kinda shitty but not that bad and the other two have been great, I’ve been living in my current one for three years. Maintenance is fast, landlord is fairly responsive. Walls are quite thin and I can hear the downstairs neighbors fucking a lot but that’s most apartments I think. Wooten truly is a hit or miss
