With as much construction being converted to homeless shelters. We should have a end to homelessness in a few years. Especially with the profit that is being made.
Please pardon me for using your space: You paid me to follow by details on development, I don’t want to say too much. Thank you. (Hello YIMBY)
What evidence do you have to suggest these may become homeless shelters in the future? This seems like you’re editorializing.
They have converted similarly-sited hotels to shelters in recent years, and with the recent surge in applications for these kinds of buildings (combined with the EXTANT boom in hotel inventory in neighborhoods where it is actually in-demand), this seems like a prime site for conversion potential.
So true if you live or the neighborhoods you will see they startas hotels. And within no time are converted to homeless shelters.
