The buildings that are in reasonable shape are locked up and the area is gated and closed off at night now. There were a lot of issues with vandalism and a caretaker has taken up residence in the parking lot. This has fixed a lot of the issues.
The area is a long walk from a small town and there is no public transportation. I think most homeless people seem to like to congregate in a bit larger town with better potential of getting food, and assistance. I wish the government was up to the task of providing employment and insurance for everyone that needs it but that seems like a utopian pipe dream at this point.
A lot of changes would need to be made but if done right I do think it would make a good low-income housing area.
Prayer plants have such small flowers and don't flower very often. Perhaps they are overlooked.
It's good there is a caretaker there. That probably does indeed, cut down on problems, also the location being as it is.
I'm not sure that the government as it currently stands, is able to do this. There needs to maybe be a change? Maybe it's an impossibility in reality; I just don't know.
I don't currently have a prayer plant, but always admire them at the stores. I might have to consider purchasing one soon. Take care my friend and have a lovely day!
