Ed Holder, vice president of the "Homeless Apartment" in Temple, Los Angeles, wrote to the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission on the 19th, hoping to withdraw the application for the development of the Homeless Apartment and cancel the hearing scheduled for June 21, because they could not guarantee that all the audits would pass within the time specified by the real estate notary company (Escrow).

Houd's application was quickly accepted by the Lo County Regional Planning Commission, and county commissioner Kathryn Barger concluded through the development that the most important thing in any real estate development case, the communication between the developer and the residents of the community, if the development case was strongly opposed by the local residents, would end in failure. It can be seen that it is very important to arouse the willingness of the community to support the homeless apartments. Although The County voters passed the H Bill, they still need the support of the community for the development projects under the bill, and the only way to deal with the residents' backlash is for the entire community to benefit from the plan.
In a statement on Mercy Housing's official website that the development of transforming the "Jinyue Hotel" into a "Homeless Apartment" was forced to be suspended, Hou De said in the statement that even troublesome real estate projects like the Jinyue Hotel have many buyers competing for bids. In view of the fact that on the one hand, the Nomad Apartment Development Company could not complete the land use review within the specified time, as well as the dialogue with the community, on the other hand, it faced competition from multiple bids, and Houde finally chose to withdraw after weighing the pros and cons.
Although Hou De did not mention in his "withdrawal" statement that the "Homeless Apartment" project was launched because of the strong opposition from the residents of the community represented by the "Sacred Valley Rights Protection Association", it is generally believed that the repeated protests and demonstrations of Chinese residents in Tianpu City are the real reasons that forced Hou De to give up.
