I lived there for three years after college.  If I remember correctly, it was a 650 sf one-bedroom with a rear patio/balcony.  What a waste.


That was an apartment complex comprised of low-income tenants before the state evicted them all.  The kicker is the state spent millions to renovate to make the units nice enough to house HOMELESS.  The units now look better than most similar market rent apartments.  Why would homeless want to find a job to pay for a market rent apartment now?  It won't be as nice as the one they are currently in.  Makes absolutely no sense to skew their perception of reality.  It should be a dump to reinforce the fact that it is intended to be transitional (temporary) housing, not life-long free apartment.  But I guess that's consistent with the social programs in our state which provide little incentive to obtain gainful employment.


Convert warehouses or office space.  Don't take units from the tight rental pool and evict employed individuals.  The irony...
