Outdoor accommodations? You want this to turn into the literal crapshow known as LA or Portland? Where QOL has completely deteriorated due to the tent cities? You can't have downtown like that when it already suffers from a stigma of being a warzone.

How do “tent cities” cause a “deteriorated” cost of living… are you saying that homeless people make it cheaper to live in a city and thus LA is super affordable right now because of how many homeless there are or that people not being able to afford the cost of living and being forced to live in tents causes the cost of living to go up…?

Because neither is true… so I’m confused.

Edited. I meant QOL. Quality of life, which has deteriorated.

Honestly, I probably would, its better than being setup on a sidewalk where a car can straight up run over your encampment or under a trainstation.

And I didnt say all of downtown.💀; just a park atleast.

With the ammount of Anti homeless infastructure here, you might as well go to penn station.
