Bait and Switch: Tenants at San Antonio's Soap Factory Apartments say relocation promises ring hollow

Tenants at the Soap Factory Apartments, scheduled for demolition as part of city-approved plans for a new minor league baseball stadium, said the complex’s owner isn’t living up to promises made to help them relocate. Residents said promises that development firm Weston Urban made to San Antonio City Council to help soften the blow for tenants were misrepresented — primarily the conditions they must meet to collect a $2,500 move-out stipend. They also question how much nonprofit Building Brighter Communities actually can assist them with relocations and whether the city’s housing authority can make good on a pledge to find them other downtown-area dwelling options.
