    Still better than living in a tent under a bridge, like an embarrassing amount of the us population

      Well, depends. If the tent camp is near services and transit, it can be better than a shelter that’s impossible to get food near.

      Maybe you’ve never been homeless, but I have.

        Keep the food court and turn one of the anchor stores into one-stop services building.

        Never mind, luxury condos make more money…

        We must have had very different homeless experiences. I would have gladly taken a micro apartment over a tent any day. Any. Day. It could have been in the middle of a desert for all I care.

        A door that locks, a bathroom, a roof, and water easily accessible? Yeah, that is a million times better than the constant fear and animalistic mindset that comes with a lack of basic resources.
