I guess I got a bit ahead of myself in suggesting that demolition work had begun on that monstrosity of an apartment complex on US 380 in Princeton.<\/p>\n

The Princeton Housing Standards Authority — aka the City Council — voted 3-2 Thursday evening to order completion of several rotting structures, even as crews began razing three buildings “to the slab.”\u00a0 Even those structures, deemed irreparable, could come back to life.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about the wisdom of that decision.<\/p>\n

The complex has sat there unfinished for more than a year, exposed to North Texas’s occasionally harsh weather. Mold and water damage run rampant through the 300-unit apartment complex.<\/p>\n

The developer has a deadline to get the work done. Some buyers are lined up to possibly purchase the site next to Wal-Mart on the south side of US 380.<\/p>\n

Folks, it still looks like a mess to me.<\/p>\n

I’ll have more to say later on the location and whether it is even wise to have such a huge apartment complex on a thoroughfare that already is choked with stand-still traffic.<\/p>\n

Sorry I jumped the gun.<\/p>\n\n
