Unpopular Suggestion : Why not combine all homeless shelters into one and put it some where it will be cost effective and on a route of local transit. Then, Wake, Durham, Orange and other nearby counties could ship all their homeless to this central location to get shelter, food, and help. Combined resources.

I've always wondered why homeless end up in the middle of downtown. I guess that's where the people end up at night.

srjbdl, free bus service will be provided. Of course this may not make the ride more pleasant for the other regular riders but that's life. After all, society owes these people certain things you know. Given enough resources, I am sure Chapel Hill can accomodate these visitors as required and as proper.

That makes no sense - why would you move the homeless far away from services, stores, etc.? If a homeless person wanted to get a job isn't transportation now going to be an issue?

Great move! Well, great for everyone except those who live near the future Homestead site. Now they can finally use the corner of Rosemary and Airport for something useful and safe. I wish they had done this before I went to school there. The only shame about this is that it costs 3 million dollars. How big is this place on Homestead Road?

This seems a little suspicious to me. Why are they moving? Is it because Chapel Hill wants to pretend as though homelessness doesn't exist in Chapel Hill, so they hide it? I think public pressure influenced the move to a more discreet area. Shame on Chapel Hill!
