Point Loma residents are pushing back against the city's plans for a homeless shelter in their community. The site of the 'H Barracks,' adjacent to the San Diego International Airport, will be otherwise unused over the next several years. The city of San Diego is pointing to that property as an ideal location to temporarily provide shelter and services for about 700 people experiencing homelessness. However, many Point Loma residents do not agree, making their opposition clear at Thursday night's Peninsula Community Planning Board meeting. "They're putting our children and us at risk!" said one resident. It was standing room only, as more than 100 residents showed up to rail against the city's plans for a homeless shelter near their community. This city-owned property in Point Loma will eventually house a new Pure Water recycling facility in five years' time. The industrial land is located off North Harbor Drive between the airport and a channel of the San Diego Bay, across from Liberty Station. Many opponents of the plan pointed out that nine schools are in the general vicinity.
