In Tucson's Amphi neighborhood, apartment tenants are fighting for fit and habitable housing together.
TUCSON, Ariz. — During the heat of the afternoon, Missy Arroyo flips on her two swamp coolers and two fans that line the inside of her apartment. Without the fans, the already unbearable heat would be even worse. The thermostat dangles loosely from the living room wall, just feet away from the exposed wires from the power socket that juts out from the wall."The problem started in January when I went down there and said I don't have a heater," she said.
"When my grand-babies come, I have to walk them through everything to make sure," she said."Because I don't know if I could get electrocuted with those wires.""They say it needs to be approved by the owner and that alone took a month to get the approval," she said. "Our neighborhood association started a tenant empowerment program," he said."It's like, 'each one teach one'.""That's what it is to empower each other to solve our problems," he said.
