Reply to comment by Angel3 in Can Baltimore vacant properties provide housing for new immigrants? by bearjew64

Winter is coming. If you asked someone about to face it without shelter, lead poisoning would be very far down their list of concerns. I'm not saying we shouldn't get the lead out of these places, but to say tent cities are preferable shows ignorance of the needs of the homeless.

Would you rather sleep in a tent or in a house that was guaranteed to cause you and your children life long brain damage? This isn’t ignoring the needs of the homeless, they need SAFE housing.

I’ve been homeless in a tent in the winter. Still better than a lead filled house.
