Picture of the Day, August 7, 2014

This post is on August 8, but this picture was taken yesterday morning -- I just didn't have the time to post it last night.

It's an empty lot on the transit mall, between the Greyhound terminal and the newly built Bud Clark Commons transitional housing building.  What's the importance of this picture?  It has been my long-standing argument that this city-owned property ought to be the R2D2 (Right to Dream, Too, homeless camp) relocated home.  I realize that the city probably has plans to build an expansion of the Bud Clark Commons, but maybe they don't need to; maybe a sparse infrastructure to support multi-level camps, is actually the bottom floor of the transition from homeless to employed and housed?
