Beautiful to broken elevator to bedbugs: My 17 years at Acton Courtyard Apartment Complex April 25, 2021 Leroy F. Moore Jr., pictured here with POOR Magazine’s Tiny Gray-Garcia, has lived in the Acton Courtyard Apartments in Berkeley for 17 years, experiencing the same difficulties disabled people report facing due to neglect of subsidized housing all over the country, from broken elevators to bedbugs. – Photo: San Francisco State University by Leroy F. Moore Jr. It was 2004-05 when I saw Acton Courtyard go up, because I lived next door in a small studio and saw an empty lot grow into a beautiful, state-of-the-art, large apartment complex. I was excited for a chance to go from a studio that was so small I had to go outside to change my mind.
