MADISON, Wis. -- The homeless in Madison might have a place to stay warm during cold winter days after all. City officials gave approval to a plan to provide daytime shelter to the homeless in an empty downtown auto dealership. The building on East Washington Avenue, part of the old Don Miller site, was purchased by the city for a redevelopment project that has yet to begin. With the Central Library closed for renovations and the Capitol cafeteria closed to the public, there were few options left for Madison's homeless during cold winter days. But come mid-December, that will change. "We're going to make it work," said Steve Schooler, executive director of Porchlight. "With the other locations, we were trying to figure out how to van people from the downtown to other spaces. This is within walking distance for most people from the shelters where they stay."

I would have figured that the unions would have taken in all of the homeless by now. They’ve got those big union halls where the homeless could really make themselves at home.
I wonder when people have had enough of dystopian, obamaville America.
So, who is going to pay for the repairs on the auto dealership after the homeless trash the place?
Great idea, put this out as a mantra when confronting these groups.
The unions should be willing to take in anybody as their collectivist philosophy preaches.
They need to show a little “solidarity” with their homeless brothers. I wish they’d get with the program.
We could house all of the country’s homeless in the empty Oldsmobile, Saturn, Yugo, Hummer (particularly large and comfortable), Pontiac dealerships.
Funny, I thought all the dealerships sold empty cars.
OWS people?
Obamaville. A closed car dealership is the perfect place for the Madison Obamaville.
Betcha they burn it down!
Yep get em warm and fed through the winter so they can be bussed in mass to vote November 2012....Even though it doesn’t matter to Dems if your dead or alive just that your vote is counted!
Does city decide who gets to sleep in the warm offices and who must stay out in the cold repair bays?
