The previous administration appeared to be trying to spend as much money as possible to force property owners to to pay for the maintenance for high-end homeless shelters. I applaud Mayor Dave Bronson for standing up for all the homeowners who are against these high-end expenditures.
Selling the Best Western on 36th Avenue at a loss is a better option than paying for the maintenance and care for a fraction of the homeless population. I would suggest the mayor look at purchasing the Sears warehouse on Dowling and Old Seward, which would house more homeless people at a fraction of the cost and could possibly be remodeled by the end of September, when the Sullivan Arena must be vacated.
