If you feed the rats, you get more rats.

I trust the Mayor will donate the land his home is on, to allow building to begin.
After all leaders gotta lead.
And the councillors who support this madness?
Their homes for sure are wasting land,a much higher density housing could better use their property…I am sure they will rush to move out and help house the homeless in their own homes..
Not bloody likely is it?
But wow, 57 000 homeless . 60 000 persons unable or unwilling to provide for themselves,all encouraged to come to the West Coast,encouraged,rewarded and then abandoned.
Liberals are so nice, always spending other peoples money for them,creating social stink holes where once sat well run family friendly communities.
Is it possible that our progressive comrades desire the extinction of the family ?
the Zombie Appocolypse is now.

Look at the bright side.This will SOLVE the homeless problem in ALL the northern states.

They could call the homeless housing area something edgy like The Projects, The Jungle or The Ghetto.

Absolutely. Yet I have heard San Franciscans say “I don’t know why we have so many homeless. We have excellent benefits for the homeless.” It took quite an effort, but I refrained from saying that it evidently also has excellent benefits for the clueless.

“In February, the council unanimously approved putting about 60 homeless people in trailers on a downtown lot at Arcadia and Alameda streets. The trailers, which contain bathrooms, showers and beds, are expected to cost about $2 million to build and another $1 million to operate.”
They’ll be destroyed by these people within a few weeks. I saw this first hand with public housing in Philly. Beautiful townhouses for the poorz trashed in no time flat.

Well said, and as Sid Vicious said, “They’ll be destroyed by these people within a few weeks.”
People need to have some sweat equity in their dwelling, such as the Habitat for Humanity program with which I am somewhat familiar.

@ Sid Regarding “They’ll be destroyed by these people within a few weeks”
I don’t know About the USA, but the same came be said about the houses on many Canadian Indian reservations.

$1M to operate? I take it that’s annually. That works out to $17K per person
We live in LA, unfortunately, so this is comparing apples to apples.
We live in an average sized house, and not counting property tax, it costs us around $6K per year for the two of us, including fire insurance, utilities, and trash collection. So that is $14K less per person than what the City Council has allocated. Where do they spend all that rest of the money?
I bet most of that goes into the pockets of the bureaucracy. Is the county getting their cut in the form of property tax? Food costs us about $3K per person, and we eat well though not extravagantly, obviously. But we cook most of our meals, and take care to shop at several markets to get the best prices. Maybe the residents will have catered meals from a restaurant.
