While I'm all about new residential, there's nothing on Randall's that a homeless person could use to make themselves not homeless. No retail, no employment opportunities, no local residents to interact with and build community, nowhere to go really except some parks.

Land Acquisition isn't what's slowing down the Gateway project. They already have everything they need. It's just plain ol' American red tape and bureaucracy.

I've lived in one and people deserve better. They're abysmal and it's a stain on the city that we find it easier to shove people into them than to build anything else.

Basement apartments are awful and should never be normalized. Build more stuff and higher ffs

Guessing that those iconic 4 storey structural brick tenements with handsome ornaments are out of the cards nowadays too then, for similar reason?

Did not know that. I know there's all kinds of structures and institutions the city considers undesirable like mental hospitals, but a homeless shelter I was not aware of.
