Ousted renters face crisis as hurricane hastens switch to condos

OAKLAND PARK -- Hurricane Wilma started the job. Now South Florida's pricey real estate market could finish it.

Residents of a run-down apartment complex trashed by Wilma say they could be rendered homeless by plans to repair and spruce up the units to turn them into condos.

George Torres, 53, a Sunshine Dixie Apartments resident, said he heard the units could go for $200,000 -- far more than he could afford on his disability checks.

"I guess they want to get rid of the poor," he said.
