    Well, depends. If the tent camp is near services and transit, it can be better than a shelter that’s impossible to get food near.

    Maybe you’ve never been homeless, but I have.

      We must have had very different homeless experiences. I would have gladly taken a micro apartment over a tent any day. Any. Day. It could have been in the middle of a desert for all I care.

      A door that locks, a bathroom, a roof, and water easily accessible? Yeah, that is a million times better than the constant fear and animalistic mindset that comes with a lack of basic resources.

      Keep the food court and turn one of the anchor stores into one-stop services building.

      Never mind, luxury condos make more money…
