12 Million dollars for only 44 singles, and 10 other multiple room housing. I think this needs to be evaluated. I was listening to a gentleman that was talking about his subject at the Roseburg City Council. I have to agree with him. There are on a average of 1000 vets homeless or needing assistance. I am almost positive that you can get a lot more complexes with 12 million dollars. I mean serious!! ' People build homes for 120,000. and those are usually 3 bedroom homes with garage and yard. You could build 100 homes with that type of layout. So I think the VA or the City or whoever is in charge of this, needs to do some more recaculating. You should be able to get about 200 duplex's or more.. and that is assuming 100,000 per unit. Back in the deppression duplexes were built very inexpensive.

This is good to hear we are going this, but why do we dig up more land and wild life and not just work with all the empty housing there is in the state and just fix up those houses? Would it not cost less?
