Homeless camps coming to Irvine

Simple minded, like to think complex issues are simple to solve. The same reasons why BOS sitting on their behinds and fumes about the lands they owned and the funding that they have and could not solve ditty squat. Not that they incapable, it?s just that they are out maneuvers to their opponents. Private interest have a hell lots at stakes and will protect their interests at great length often behinds the scenes. The shadow hands is pulling all the triggers and strings to make it not happen or make it happen as they see fit.

Zero grocery stores. Hard to access relative to other spots. It's still a library so what do you do with that?

Seems a bit like a "hail mary" pass to me.

From the source, cots would be setup and the shelving in library would clear out.
 
Rattlesnakes, Mountain Lions, Mule dears.
That's what is out there.  Nothing much around that area but bicyclists and commuters moving from south county to riverside.

The homeless don't want to go to the existing shelters so there is no way they will go to this no man's land.  So this is a way for the government to say "we have a shelter, they just don't use it".  So when a judge tries to block demolition of homeless tent cities by saying there is no where for them to go, the county can point to this shelter and say "yes there is!"



 
The shelter is temporary, no more than two years. It was pretty crazy that the Tustin city council thought it was a good idea to open a low barrier temporary shelter next to heritage elementary when the barranca location was always an option.

The final permanent location will likely end up in an industrial part of Tustin away from homes/schools and commercial businesses.
 
That was a pain for Tustin Legacy residents, primarily because the idiotic city council thought it was a good idea to open a low barrier homeless shelter 500 feet from an elementary school
 
They should fix that light on Valencia and Kensington Park by DD. That light has been blinking red for a while.
(Tustin legacy area)
