[quote=Anonymous]Moving the NW site does not address many of the shortcomings of the plan discussed in the very long previous thread on this topic. There many questioned why the city should spend money putting up special buildings (and then paying again to lease them back from the developers) to temporarily house homeless families that purposely had features like dorm style living arrangements, communal bathrooms--with two bathtubs for 40 people for a population consisting heavily of children, and only common kitchens. One PP there made a much more sensible suggestion that the city simply buy existing small multifamily housing units and put six to seven families in them with one or two resident social workers.
