Oh, and making the thing into a giant shelter for the homeless would actually be a good use of public funds. We can centralize services for them, saving money while containing problems to a small area that is easily patrolled. The city as a whole would benefit. We could put in a small clinic and police office onsite as well. Provide onsite addiction treatment and counseling and mental healthcare. As well as permeant housing services and job assistance. A big part of the homeless not being able to get a job is employers' reluctance to hire anyone with no permanent address and hygiene issues. I know when I do interviews if you smell or are dirty, I do not care how good a resume you have I'm not hiring you.
