There are many good and compassionate people in the Morongo Basin that are concerned in terms of our local unhoused citizens not having access to showers, but concerned about the unhoused does very little to help our local unhoused fellow Americans; action Is what gets things done. A "can do" ethos.
It wasn't too many years ago -- in the dead of a freezing winter -- that a veteran died of hypothermia sleeping next to the 29 Palms city-owned Chamber of Commerce building. So sad that there is a lot rhetoric and feigned concerned among city influencers and our local governmental entities, but frankly, the bottom line is thst over the years the city has done absolutely nothing to genuinely help our homeless local Americans.
A few years ago when a veteran died of hypothermia (he froze) next to a city-owned heated building, elected officials pretended it didn't happen. I wrote a scathing article about it in a now discontinued widely read local online blog. I was shamed and chastise for writing that stinging article.
Now, however, we have a majority of new local elected leaders. They can and should work toward making it happen that our homeless folks can have freaking showers. It's not as complicated as building the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The potential navigation center was at 6594 Adobe, south of the fire station. That property is also listed for sale, but not the building described in the article.
