“It’s a gift to residents who will get a place with a locked door” On which side is the door locked and who gets possession of the keys? Dignitaries fall all over themselves on projects like these — often the results are far afield from 15 minutes of glad handing & colorful balloons & cookies in front of live mics w news reporters there.

Palo Alto Buyers beware! One. the location stinks, two: cost overruns and construction delays, last minute change orders, unit package delivery stalls.

One or any can learn a lot from the Mayfield Agreement and the failures of the Related Mayfield Place, contracted Seque Construction tragedy/lawsuit (International news!) , Stanford owned soil. 150 Low income Residents were (are) on the loosing side of the deal begging for everything from low income WiFi to stove top coil replacements... years on.

The real heart stopper (refer back to opening quote) is that in June at PACC, LM’s ID’d 58 SC residents to move in. What? Life on the streets is fast pace trajectory, downward . And LM’s when pressed by one council member almost sneered their answer about thier abysmal track record and high paid upper staff.

How come this facility is not designated for those either one already a resident (RV, In car, on the street and or working in PA at a low paying job. I am not saying one must be employed. I am saying giving preference to those already here struggling and trying and in crisis too.

And BTW Life Moves did little for my evicted neighbor yet was with her case every step of the way while she transitioned into her and her baby to her car in Mountain View. She has continued to keep her job yet could not get to LM’s as her work hours conflicted w their M-F 9-4 biz hours and did not desire to get fired for having to work w LM’s staffing schedule and constant absences & excuses like “in a meeting. Kou is correct — the moving parts who get the millions of dollars are out of control w little to no over site levers.

If you build it, more will come!

Another colossal waste of taxpayer funds. Do any of the politicians learn from making the same mistakes expecting a different outcome? Thank you Mr Einstein. In San Francisco the politicians allocate additional $ millions each year for those on the street and the number keep increasing. Los Angeles area the same.

I realize that people will always find challenges with something that is proposed. I pray that moving forward, we can all work on seeing a challenge and recommending a solution or remedy. Let's try to ask ourselves, what can I do to help and make a difference.

Lots of cynical complaining in the comments. The #1 factor that determines whether someone will stay homeless, is whether they can secure transitional housing. This is a good thing. Unless you only care about yourself, rather than the health of the society you participate in.

I am so disappointed by this development - especially being directly adjacent to a Bayland's trail entrance @ San Antonio. Get ready for garbage, malfeasance, pitbulls on a shoestring, drugs, etc.

I have no idea what the requirements are or will be to get in, but if the residents are anythink like a lot of RV dwellers, it's destined to be an absolute mess. And NO, I am not talking about responsible people living in RVs. I'm talking about the ones that never move and are often supplied with drugs and guns.

Also, what it the "transitional" timeline? Likely another thing that will never be held to an actual standard.
