It is starting to look like the water bill will be the undoing of Peachtree Pine:

UPDATE: City rejects shelter's water payment offer, reveals plan to move homeless to other facilities | Atlanta News & Opinion Blog | Fresh Loaf | Creative Loafing Atlanta

They claim that they will continue with the water turned off, but it is unclear how they can do that.

JUST DIE ALREADY!!!!

What is wrong with these people? I hope there is a visible celebration whenever Anita Beaty's house of horrors is finally forced to close.

Task Force for the Homeless pays $600K water bill, avoids shut-off

Quote:
The Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless paid its nearly $600,000 water bill on Friday, days before the city was scheduled to cut off water to its homeless shelter.

Anita Beaty, head of the Task Force, was flanked by several supporters as she paid the debt inside Atlanta City Hall. Beaty said she raised the money this week from private donors who have pledged ongoing support for future water bills.

“We don’t want to overwhelm you, but we’re very happy,” Beaty said to the cashier receiving the checks. Behind her, supporters chanted “water lady.”

The Task Force received notice in August that it had one month to pay hundreds of thousands in past water debts.

God this sucks. What will it take to get this blight out of there? Who would donate that much to keep this awful place going?

Yes this place definitely needs to go, I hope the surrounding businesses and housing developments start hammering hard to get them evicted and turn the property over to the rightful owner.

I think the question that needs to be asked is why the new property owners rights are just being trampled. How long has the private investor owned this property without having any right to possession?

It's actually in downtown.

However, I agree that the shelter is very problematical.
