Rectangular boxes at first glance of a parking lot for homeless people in one of many richest cities of the world is likely to attract criticism. This really is what happened in Las Vegas when the city officials made shelter in the parking large amount of the Cashman Center. This is done following the closing of a 500-bed overnight shelter.
Going beyond the debate of right or wrong, it’s time to just accept the reality of the inadequacy of the machine and get together to greatly help each other.
The white boxes with a blue-sheet in open space might look inhuman. But this is the best possible temporary solution for individuals.

If hotels come forward to supply some rooms to allow for homeless people, then this could be the best exemplory instance of public-private cooperation. The parking lot shelter is at least providing the requisite safety to those who are most subjected to the coronavirus.
