Please pardon me for using your space: No have gang on report, only Andrew Nelson. (Hello YIMBY)
Sounds like a part shelter or mental place. Glad they are planning to include a healthy eating grocery store. I live a couple of blocks away.
The 8 or so store fronts have been empty for a long time. Should be an improvement to the area.

As if we don’t have enough shelters around here. Same people mugging people in the neighborhood. Smh
