Screenshot of news article reading: What is The Woodley? The Woodley, a two-building, 102-unit complex planned for 2120 Main St., was approved by city boards in 2024 despite pushback from neighbors who feared the complex would house homeless veterans. Attorney and then-state senator Dick Harpootlian also joined the fight, saying at a city meeting he would “fight (the project) tooth and nail” if it housed homeless veterans. “These people don’t need homeless people living in their neighborhood,” Harpootlian said at a Columbia Design and Development Review Commission meeting in 2024. “My office is two blocks from here. I don’t need more homeless people defecating in my parking lot every morning, which is what is happening right now.”
