Miami, Florida, may relocate the city’s homeless people to an encampment site on an offshore island that houses a wastewater treatment plant.

On Thursday, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners will hear a proposal from the city manager’s office that details building a homeless camp on Virginia Key island, near a hike and bike trail and the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Plans for the camp were published online by the Daily Mail showing proposals for large dormitory-type tent structures, tiny home units, or for more costly “folding unit” structures.

“The plan offers a 50-room set-up within three of the tents, at $719,573. A plan for 100 rooms within five tents would cost more than a $1 million, and 150-room setup with the maximum allowed tents would cost more than $1.6 million,” reports the Daily Mail.

Each proposed structure would be equipped with air conditioning units, restrooms, and showers.

The proposal comes as President Donald Trump floated a similar idea to an audience at an America First Policy Institute summit Tuesday.

“The only way you’re going to remove the hundreds of thousands of people, and maybe throughout our nation millions of people, and help make our cities clean, safe and beautiful again, is to open up large parcels of inexpensive land in the outer reaches of the cities,” Trump stated.

“Bring medical professionals including doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, drug rehab specialists. Permanent bathrooms and other facilities. Make them good. Make them fast. And create thousands and thousands of high-quality tents, which can be done in one day.”

“Some people say ‘that’s horrible’. No, what’s horrible is what’s happening now. Because now they’re in tents but most of them aren’t even tents that function,” he said.
