From the transcript

Good evening, Commissioners. Castle Makes Store appreciates the opportunity to address the ongoing public safety concerns surrounding Linda's Place, located directly adjacent to our Anchorage business. We recognize the importance of providing shelter and assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness. However, supporting this mission should not come at the expense of the safety of the neighboring businesses, employees, customers, and residents. The current operators of Linda's Place have demonstrated they do not have the ability to properly operate this facility.
