San Diego leaders move forward with a plan to help homeless students and their families with secure overnight parking at a former school in City Heights.
Even at just 20 years that amortizes to 10 million, assuming no inflation to costs for this parking lot. I have a very hard time believing that wouldn’t cover basic apartments.
FWIW, a check of extant multifamily housing for sale in that area shows about $200-$400K per unit.
So, building new would probably cost a little more, but I suppose low income housing could forego some common amenities. OTOH, low income housing projects in Los Angeles routinely exceed $600K per unit.
At $500k/year couldn’t they also build apartments where the lot is affordably?
In San Diego? No.

That is insane
Also wouldn’t help the people that are forced by circumstance to be living out of their cars.
