seems as though there hasn’t been any genuine effort to economically address the situation.
The Philadelphia Housing Authority built 88 units for $35 million, or $400,000 per unit.
On the other hand, these 2 bed/ 2 bath units are being sold commercially in Philadelphia (presumably at a profit) for a little over $200,000

looking at the local homeless issue, seems last weeks media show (like the Philadelphia Housing Authority news report to have built 88 units), is just that,… “a photo-opt” to appease those asking elected officials to have bureaucracy do something about a visible symptom
[quote] Mayor Kevin Faulconer says San Diego has taken the wrong approach on homelessness and needs to change.
