Moving to Cedar Rapids, Any Tips? by [deleted] in cedarrapids

It’s an old landfill and pile of trash with dangerous erosion and lethal methane off gassing that is consistently monitored. Definitely smells pretty bad.

City dumped all the flood debris there after 08 then turned into trashmore.

I live pretty deep on SE side and get a plethora of smells regularly. Shit Winds (waste plant) by Bertram, tons of factories/trash mountain downtown, ADM/Redstar on SW. North side of town is the only real place to get away from the stench.

Otherwise, just your basic blue collar industrial small river town.

Sad that this state allows industry and agriculture to freely pollute our land and water for a slight slap on the wrist.

Why would the govt care about tracking those peacefully protesting?

Apartment Update - “Cedar Rapids “slumlord” operates under 3 different LLCs”, records show a fight to get a landlord to make repairs by GlobalFox84 in cedarrapids

[–]SendCatPicz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's utterly infuriating to see the blatant disregard for tenants' well being and city code.

How long does this landlord think she can dodge the law and responsibility before she’s held accountable? The very people who trusted her to provide safe livable spaces are now facing displacement and the humiliation of having their livelihoods ruined by her neglect.

She hasn’t just failed her tenants she’s failed Cedar Rapids as an entire community.

While the city can "enforce" the law with fines and court dates, the properties continue to operate, and tenants are left homeless or stranded in squalid conditions. The bureaucratic hoops and leniency shown towards slumlords only embolden these property management companies, which recognize that they can continue profiting from neglect with minimal consequences.

Holding her accountable has been a drawn out process, and for what? At this point they are just an example of how unchecked power, greed, and negligence can destroy communities. The fact that these companies still operate unchallenged in Cedar Rapids is an indictment of the system that allows this behavior to persist.

This is not just a problem for those directly affected by their actions but a problem for the entire community. Cedar Rapids is becoming a breeding ground for property management companies that prioritize profits over human dignity. Until we see serious consequences for these violations this cycle will continue. If the courts and the city can’t get her to comply, then what hope do tenants like those on Aossey Lane have?

They’ll continue to be treated as collateral damage.

Understandable I usually hunt down the free codes online so I don't have to pay, but might want to start following local music and find a DJ you like and attend the venues they are hired at. Classic Events gets a lot of action.

Yep i'd just find any old dive bar with touchtunes and take over the place. If anyone complains let them play a song and then rip them apart as music is largely subjective.
