Atlanta builds Container Housing Units (CHU) for hobo arsonists

2023-12-23

[WSB-TV2] ATLANTA — Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said Friday that the city will soon have to decide if it will "allow or disallow" homeless people to continue to live and build encampments under bridges and overpasses.
"Allow or disallow" WTF ? Piedmont Road and I-85 bridge fire in 2017 cost tens of millions of dollars to repair.
This comes just days after fire investigators blamed an out-of-control fire at a homeless encampment for severely damaging a bridge along Cheshire Bridge Road.

But, the Mayor added, such an action cannot come without giving those people alternative places to live.
Summer here can be brutal. AMTRAC goes to Washington D.C., NYC, Chicago, what is the problem ?
"Policy decisions are going to be made around whether we allow or disallow anybody to ever go up under a bridge to live and so consider that trespassing," Dickens said. "But we’ve got to have options for people."
What about the Salvation Army? Hundreds of bunks and lots of hot chow there..
Oh, no alcohol or drugs. Well, Ok.
To that end, Dickens toured a new concept village under construction in Downtown Atlanta in an old parking lot on Forsyth Street made up of donated converted shipping containers and modular units.
The Government can fly homeless migrants in from Africa and China. Why can't the Government fly them out ?
