The Click on Detroit story says it's a 50 million dollar project to build 155 apts. for the homeless. Isn't 325 grand per apt. a little steep?

no... not when they also come with a fitness center, computer work rooms, and health care.... being homeless ain't what it used to be......

Why is providing a fitness center and computer work room a bad thing? I would think people of your ilk would be pleased to see the homeless actually trying to improve themselves [[and gee, maybe even stop being homeless!). I can't see the downside to people trying to make themselves fit, or learn computer skills...

...and the "health care" as you call it is actually a mental health clinic. A facility that would not be needed if Jabba the Engler hadn't closed Lafayette Clinic and other facilities that were providing this service at one point. Maybe if these facilities were still available, we wouldn't need to include such a facility in the construction plan?

thats AWESOME.... help at any cost!!!! $325,000 an apartment, they sign the lease, and its theirs!!!!

I work my ass off and can't afford a $325,000 home.... but I sure am taxed heavily so that these homeless victims can be subsidized in their $325,000 apartments....

btw, typing this from a windows 98 laptop..... hopefully the homeless will have the luxury of mac airbooks to look for, well not jobs... why bother, they already will have great living arrangements....

In addition to the already mentioned parts the NSO is also moving their HQ into the building. So the apartments are not 325,000 a piece. It then begs the question what bugs you up the ass so much about these people help thing addiction etc?
