Looking like it's not too far off from completion now.
There are three parking lots in that picture screaming for someone to buy them and develop.
But how can you just build permanent housing for those who neither can afford it, or afford the maintenance costs? If you just provided permanent housing to those with no skin in the game, wouldn't the properties, on average, just be destroyed within a couple years? Honest question though, because I believe shelters seem to be a pivotal part of homelessness strategy, as there probably needs to be a certain level of supervision to ensure some safety for residents, and preservation of the actual structures. Is there much evidence of this not being the case?
