"They'll probably build another casino before they put up housing for the homeless, or get homeless people into housing of any sort," said Real, who is unhoused.
so sad, that great wealth in this country doesn;t trickle down to help these people is a disgrace.
A point I've made before: we need more housing, but abbutterss almost always object to more housing near them. Even Shekarchi can't get thru zoning to allow more density and mixed use along commercial strips. Result is disproportionately housing being built is out in the woods with few abutters, bad for nature and wildlife, the highest carbon emissions, and little help to the homeless. Wer should allow more density on site specific basis, allow small apartments with low or no parking minimums to avoid expensive parking infrastructure, historic tax crdeits to faciltate reusing older buidings, and the mcroapartments referenced in the article on a larger scale

I would think the State House grounds would be perfectly suitable for a transitional encampment. Sanctioned by the mayor and governor.
