With all the fuss and problems finding night shelter for the homeless, there seems to be an obvious option, at least for the short term.
There is a fine, warm, roomy, safe building at 1061 Haupapa St, which belongs to the ratepayers of this district.
Open it up to night use, properly supervised of course.
And that way Rotorua Lakes Council would be able to display what a caring and sensitive organisation they really are, despite recent indications to the contrary.
