Samantha Kenley, a longtime Liberty Square resident in Miami, recounts her move from the original “Pork and Beans” apartments to the new redevelopment, describing broken promises, prolonged maintenance failures (roof leaks, mold, pests, repeated repairs from 2020 to 2024), and safety concerns. She explains how privatization complicated accountability, how management practices and communications fell short, and how vouchers and credit checks shaped displacement and returns. Kenley details youth programming gaps, incidents of violence near the complex, and the community’s efforts to respond. Her advocacy, including participation in the documentary “Razing Liberty Square,” brought city attention, resulting in inspections and limited fixes, but ongoing issues remain. The interview documents lived experience of public housing redevelopment, everyday logistics for a large family, and the social impacts of policy decisions at the site level.
