Ill hate on SOME all day long. They dont belong in a residential area, there are too many people that pass through. I agree they are a good cause but should sell the building and relocate closer to the homeless shelters where they bus people in from.

quit hating on SOME. I’m as sick as anyone of waking up in the morning to yelling drunk dudes, but SOME has a right to be there, and it’s a valuable service. Maybe they’ll put in a business there that catches snarky internet hipsters and detains them.

CF got a bunch of doors. Not sure if second chance got any, but that was in the works for a while.

what did they do with all of the doors and windows and other such non-meltable objects?

I know what would be perfect there. Another SOME-based social service!

There are over 450 condo units planned in south Eckington, so there’s good reason to expect more development and a massive spike in density in the next 5 years. New construction 2 bedroom condos can go for $450k or so. My uniformed guess is that this is either going to become retail, or built up to become 4 story condo building — not unlike PoP’s worst pop up of all time a block north or so from here, except more tasteful.

This location is close to metro, and ripe for transformation. It seems like the land value and ability to build up (assuming appropriate zoning is in place already) would justify the price tag.
