GOOD LOCATION FOR RESIDENTS
With grocery stores, convenience stores, parks, a hospital, and churches all within a mile or less walking distance, the proposed location is ideal for a population that may not have access to personal transportation. Placing a facility like this in an industrial district would make it impossible for residents to meet their basic needs.
The county already owns this land, making the process of obtaining it for this purpose affordable. This is an efficient use of our tax dollars.
Unhoused people are people, and people live in neighborhoods. It is incredibly dehumanizing to tell a person that are somehow less-than just because their financial situation is different from our own. All people deserve shelter and dignity.
Pumpkins and Christmas trees are fun, but there are many other spots in the county to find those seasonal activities. Special seasonal use is not more important than putting someone into supportive housing.
