Now if you said open some unused Base housing units at a place like the Presido or NAS Alameda and then I would agree with you. Those are real houses.... "Were" is more operative. Much of the Presidio housing has been razed and the rest is mostly being used for its original purpose. At the former NAS Alameda, ALL of the "outside the gate" Capehart housing has been flattened and the land is being "redeveloped" with current stock, while that remaining on the former base proper is being used for - housing. Similar with the housing on-board Moffett Federal Airfield (ex-NAS Moffett Field), today a NASA facility. There were any number of hare-brained schemes by former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown's Administration to house the homeless at the former NS Treasure Island, but none of these got off the ground. All of these were as poorly conceived as Mr. Weeks' suggestion and many were even worse. Much of the housing stock on "BRACed" bases is very old or expensive to maintain, or has contamination issues ranging from lead-based paints to proximity with Superfund-grade contamination. This problem would be even greater if people were housed on WWII construction ships due to asbestos, lead, volatile organic compounds, etc., which brings us right back to one of the main reasons that the Gummint plans to turn AMERICA into a crab condo. Meanwhile, the voters in San Francisco approved a "care not cash" program for addressing the very large homeless population. In the resulting absence of generous cash payouts, San Francisco's homeless population has declined significantly. Hmmm, tore them down. Well they would been nicer quarters than the America. |
