Coincidentally, there are about 47 homeless people on Chestnut. This building should be used to fund some SRO space in the city.

The taxes on properties like that are good for Philadelphia instead of being located just outside the city.

Wow, I worked a few and never did anything like that. To be fair, my family went to church growing up, so I guess the Sunday school stuff sank in. I’m not religious now but I would still be uncomfortable stealing from someone.

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.
