Karen Carty8 months ago I have concerns about power and water availability and how a facility with large requirements will affect the rest of us. They will be using our other facilities (roads, sewers, fire, police) while bring little commerce to the area. I hope no one is contemplating tax incentives.How many employees will be added?Will they be producing their own power (solar, wind)?Will all of this water used for cooling be recycled? How will that be done?Too many questions.

Karen Carty3 years ago I'm surprised there aren't more ideas for the homeless but there are many suggestions that have value. More tiny houses. An dedicated improved area (lighting, electricity, water, toilet facilities and showers, a police substation, picnic tables) where homeless can set up their tents, lockers where they can leave their stuff and public phones. It should be available to anyone who has nowhere to go. There are multiple charities that want to provide meals. Let them. Subsidize them. Put a stop to outlying areas leaving their homeless in the City. I know it happens because I've seen vans unloading people. Some of them even come from Illinois. It puts an unnecessary burden on City dwellers. That will require a small staff of people to monitor the activity. All shelters (including Larry Rice) must provide 24 hour availability. The fact that people are turned out in the morning and cannot return until evening leaves them with no where to go. The result is a nuisance to people living and working near the shelters. During excessive cold weather make indoor facilities readily available. I understand there are public buildings that could be turned into emergency shelters with heat and water.
