Not to mention, wherever you put it, is it going to resemble the 2 block area surrounding the DIC? Because I don't know if you've spent any time around there, but...

I think I said this a while ago in a different thread, but low-cost, dense public housing is going to be a tough sell too.
You cram a bunch of people with addiction and mental health issues into a cramped space with nothing to do and nowhere to go and you're essentially just lighting a powderkeg.
There are a lot of reasons homeless individuals dont want to go to shelters or public housing, its not only just because they would have to follow their rules but a big element is that they can be very dangerous places.
