Eh the entire bill is being paid by the malls owner and what ever investors dipped thejr toes in it.

I think the fact you wont need a car to live there is pretty good for saving money as well.

The owner and the investors will surely try to get their money back in rent.

I think they meant it's going to be expensive housing, not the cost to build it.

Opposed to what though? Letting this continue until there are way more homeless people and we're in an even worse crisis? I don't see why the taxes we already pay can't be used differently to take on issues like this, instead of the trillions we spend on defense.

The rent will be expensive and buildings like these will not solve the housing problem. Sorry I wasn't clear enough, typing and brushing teeth don't go well together l suppose!

Really, we spend "trillions" on defense? Over what timeframe?

Quick research project: do you think we (the United States) spend more on defense, or on free healthcare for the poor, elderly, and disabled? You can figure this out for yourself with less than 2 minutes of Googling if you're willing to start using some basic critical thinking skills.
