A fancy, new, taxpayer-funded high-rise homeless shelter featuring apartments with skyline views, a gym and cafe is set to open in Los Angeles — looking more like a hipster haven than public housing.

The 19-story tower — whose 228 studios and 50 one-bedroom apartments cost about $600,000 a pop to build — is located in the heart of the city’s Skid Row and part of a three-building project to provide shelter and support for homeless adults, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The $165 million complex boasts amenities galore, including the gym complete with treadmills, rowers, bikes and a cable machine — as well as a communal patio area for residents to congregate, an art room, a soundproof music room, a computer room, a library and the cafe.
