Reply to comment by lateavatar in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64

That’s what the roundhouse building should be used for, don’t Police HQs have locker rooms with showers already? They do on TV at least lol.

That’s a relatively large building. LA tried to concentrate all of their support for homeless in one area and it seems to have had a negative effect by concentrating that neighborhood. — I think a more distributed plan, with each neighborhood building 20 units might be better.

I agree with the distributed approach when it comes to providing long-term public housing. Short-term shelter/housing for the homeless is another story, a centralized location equipped with facilities to take care of them may be necessary. Plus, the roundhouse building isn't in a residential area - my main concern would be Franklin Square park. Perhaps the surrounding parking lot could be converted to a common area.
