I think it’s a good idea. Residents have to be working or have some income to qualify for the rent right? It’s on Taltran so people can get to employment and services around Tally. Sometimes all people need is a dry roof over their heads and and bathroom and shower facilities to move forward! Hope it works.

The renovations for low income rental will get completed. But then HUD wont issue the vouchers needed for people to live there. And the developer will be able to say he tried and couldn’t rent, and then be able to raise rents and obtain regular renters.

I think this is a great idea and awesome opportunity for the homeless who do wish to get off the streets but haven’t had the means to. Nobody deserves to sleep outside nor does being homeless automatically make you a criminal. The bible tells us to pick our brothers up when they fall and if they ask to borrow 1 quarter, with a giving heart, give them two. I spent many nights on the streets, in these hotels(the Quality Inn on the Pkwy was closed due to radon, and is now non function and contains no wiring or plumbing on all 4 floors, it DOES need to be demolished) and In tents for 11 years on and off and I would rather see someone helped off the streets than to see another homeless friend die all alone outside. Y’all should be ashamed for being so selfish snd heartless.

The area is already a haven for drugs and prostitution. What could be better than adding free housing for the habitual drug user to the area?????

This should increase crime north along Monroe Street, destroy property values and make it more dangerous to shop at the Walmart across the street.

I am always glad to see Empty Buildings get repurposed instead of Land being cleared for a new Building. Why doesn’t the Big Bend Homelessness Coalition do the same? There is a Hotel on the Parkway that has been shut down for a few Years now and is an Eyesore.

Our Dailey gtifters gave $20 million to the FSU staduim for wealthy folks to rest their butts in comfort. Throwing a measly $19,104 towards housing for the low income to rest their heads seems is smart infill. So much better than a Ghazvini or Boulos project that lays permanent waste to a beautiful forest or wetland area. A cost benefit analysis would show the Motel 6 redevelopment is much less costly than the permanent loss of what little remaining natural areas we have at the hands of those clearcut loving developers.

The City of Tallahassee SHOULD NOT be in the housing business!!!!
