Dear City Commissioners,
"The Guthrie" is an abomination. I worked in homeless services for seven years and built the
original Warming Center. I have helped manage low income tax credit properties across thestate. "The Guthrie" is the single biggest steaming pile of misplaced funds that I have ever
heard of. I thought I had a good imagination, but whoever thought of this living incarnation ofmisery has me beat hands down. Do not approve this project as is. There is no human dignity
here. At minimum every unit needs a fully functional kitchen. At minimum the building needsto provide the ability to do laundry. I'm not even saying that each unit needs washer/dryer
hookups. Community laundry would be fine, but it's essential to public health that the abilityto do laundry is available. I do not understand how the architect who planned this has a
license. I hope that they don't have pets because with the level of inhumane treatment in thisproposal I truly fear for the potential of animal cruelty. This development probably borders on
criminal conduct. Say no to "The Guthrie."
Best,
Joshua Revious DSc, MBA
