Comments on: Logic Prevails in Homeless Plight https://boiseguardian.com/2005/12/09/logic-prevails-in-homeless-plight/ A different slant on the news.

I never realized that the underside of a bridge had smoke dectectors or heaters. Or fire extinguishers. I really must keep up.

There are countless vacant buildings in the downtown area in good repair that the mayor and concil can see are used to house those without. Bieter and city council created manifest problems for all when they gave Mr. Roscoe the keys to an already well-run Community House.

So far this is just a pie-in-the-sky notion… WAY too early to declare that logic has prevailed.

When those well-meaning churches fling their doors open wide to welcome the downtrodden, you can bet the bureaucrats will show up to make sure there are adequate bathing facilities, ceiling sprinklers, etc., etc. Occupancy permits will most likely have to be issued, etc.

It ain’t just a question of “no room at the inn” any more.
