With the unfortunate events of last week (homeless guy breaking into a house near Downtown and killing the homeowner) I expect that some of these shelters will be relocated and hopefully upgraded in the near future.
Besides The Link, it sure does take a long time for Downtown PHX to get moving on anything large in scale. With Tempe having a giant lake, I assumed that Downtown PHX would feel the threat and drastically pick up their entitlement pace. They haven't and I think it's extremely risky on their part. What's taking Barrister so long? Luckily the office portion of Block 23 is going to look great and could save their ass if there's a ton of demand.
