Residents beg city to bulldoze shuttered Houston condos | Front page | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Residents beg city to bulldoze shuttered Houston condos | Front page | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Desperate residents who live near a shuttered condo complex in northwest Houston thronged a City Council meeting Tuesday, begging the mayor to bulldoze the empty buildings. Candlelight Trails, at 5626 De Soto, is a pretty name, but the property has become nightmarish, the neighbors said. Although the property is fenced off, criminals, squatters and drug addicts haunt the buildings, they said. The city closed the 240-unit development last August, citing myriad dangers, such as exposed wires, broken glass and broken sprinklers. Mayor Bill White appeared to support demolition but said it would be a long and legally difficult process because there are multiple owners of the units."
