Please pardon me for using your space: I want to exclaim. Yes! I like your details and I followed it. Thank you. (Hello YIMBY)
In this area it should be real hotels.
Homeless shelter masked as a hotel. I don’t know how deception of the public is allowed by the City.
There’s already a few “hotels” in the area.
They actually turn out to be shelters.
Also I was actually living there comfortably until they kicked me out to build this 🙁
