Airbnb to help turn old Austin Home Depot into affordable housing

It will be a drug infested hell hole. That whole area is bad , has been for a long time. Used to live right across I 35 back in the 80's. Was sketchy even then. Don't miss it.

 

They can build income restricted apartments but can they make people move in and pay rent?

Many of Austin's homeless are homeless by choice.

 

But can they make those folks sign the contract in the first place?

I'm speculating that demand may not be as high as the City is anticipating.

 

I'm not disputing the legality of the contract, I'm questioning the will of the homeless to enter into said contract.

 

Who said this was for the homeless?

 

Exactly. It’s for low income folks. You know kind of Housing Projects Lite. It will be a crime @nd drug fiesta !
