Don't forget non-profits are in it for the business...and they don't care about displacing established communities with displaced people.

"It's deeply troubling and alarming that city staff would recommend this project to be a homeless shelter without the input of the community," said Stephanie Tran of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.

Neighbors said they feel blindsided and worry about a new facility right next to where hundreds of Chinatown seniors already live.

Homeless shelters is an industry. As long as homelessness continues to remain a problem, these organizations will continue to receive grant money so it is in the organizations's financial interest to attract homeless people to the area for them to stay in business at the expense of blighting the surrounding businesses who actually pay taxes that these organizations don't have to pay so basically businesses are subsidizing homeless organizations that puts them out of business when they attract undesirable people to the area who don't contribute to the economy.

Homeless shelters in Chinatown do not serve the public interests of Chinatown nor does it enhances a win-win symbiotic relationship with Chinatown as it displaces people with displaced people. Homeless shelters in Chinatown should be converted to low-income senior housing.
