While Mayor Gloria said the plan is"on track," his 2024 election opponent, Larry Turner, said the city doesn't"need to get into more real estate deals"The controversial proposed 1,000-bed mega shelter for the homeless at Kettner Boulevard and Vine Street in San Diego 's Middletown neighborhood was the topic of a closed session meeting at city hall Monday.
Gloria's 2024 opponent, Larry Turner, meanwhile, expressed concerns about the industrial location in Middletown. He's worried that people who stay at the shelter will be walled in by the freeway and train tracks, and that the shelter is not easily accessible on foot or for people who are not able-bodied.
"They need another shelter,” said Ramirez, who said he was turned away from shelters that had no beds available until he got a space at Golden Hall, where the city is currently operating a shelter. “San Diego needs another one. It means a lot. I mean, it's a nice soft bed. Better than just concrete, laying down on it.”
