I think you overestimate the decline in property values/standard of living that a homeless shelter will cause in an
area.
I lived across the street from a homeless shelter for 3 years. We never had any problems. Homeless people need a place to live. Housing them is the Christian thing to do. So often they are single mothers or the mentally ill. We should be extending our hands to them.... not pushing them away. They need our help.
Scatter-site homeless shelters are the best method for providing housing for the poor. I'm disappointed that the Draper sites are so far away from better parts of Draper.
(full disclosure - I own property in Draper and would support more centrally located homeless shelters - they really should be close to 123rd).

Draper proposes two spots for homeless shelters. #1 Where prison is now and and #2 Southeast of i-15 off 146000 south.

Why not get them a one-way greyhound ticket to NYC instead. Let those under-privileged do some traveling and save

Since this will never happen, I actually think Draper is a great location. Let's not pretend that a homeless shelter is

Have you ever been to San Francisco? The homeless epidemic there hasn't slowed growth. Grow up, people!

Exactly. But instead we're going to start out putting a big homeless shelter right there in place of it.

People spent a bit of money to live in Draper, not West Valley. If they wanted to live near homeless shelters they

I bought in Draper. I want homeless shelters closer to my property. You speak for yourself not for me.

what about single moms? Wouldn't we be better off putting single moms near 123rd? They would be within walking

I don't understand. People with money live in Draper because of the good sense of community and better schools. They
