Don’t be an ass. The state needs to finally mandate the full remediation of lead from these buildings. Until then, I’d rather see small tent cities where at least people aren’t being poisoned for the want of a roof.

Likely cheaper to just tear them down.

Winter is coming. If you asked someone about to face it without shelter, lead poisoning would be very far down their list of concerns. I'm not saying we shouldn't get the lead out of these places, but to say tent cities are preferable shows ignorance of the needs of the homeless.

Would you rather sleep in a tent or in a house that was guaranteed to cause you and your children life long brain damage? This isn’t ignoring the needs of the homeless, they need SAFE housing.
