As I drive past they'll make gestures at me like anyone that goes on that road is looking to build a new deck or something. I just don't see how it's a good location for "luxury" apartments.

Those guys aren't going to be there forever. When the economy improves enough for someone to actually start building on that Skyline site again, what remains of that rather shabby apartment complex on Morosgo is probably going to be demolished and replaced with something much more expensive, effectively pricing the work-seekers who live there out of the neighborhood.
BUT, anywhere there's an HD, there will
always be guys looking for work and I doubt that everyone who's out there lives in those apartments. I'm sure that the security people at whatever-they-build-where-the-apartments-used-to-be won't let them stand on that sidewalk where they are now, but they're going to be around there someplace.
That's going to be an interesting situation. HD won't let them stand on their lot and no one else is going to want them around, but those guys are not going to give up trying to get work.
Maybe they'll start congregating in front of that dead restaurant site right at Piedmont and Morosgo. What's with that corner anyway? Nothing seems to last very long there.
