Mainz-Kastel Army Area in Wiesbaden

Word came out today in the Wiesbaden and Mainz-Kastel area.....that the American barracks area at the edge of Mainz-Kastel.....being turned over to the Germans.....will become refugee housing.  Well....at least two of the buildings will be used as such.

I've walked by the structures and would take a guess that you could put 300-odd people into each building....depending on the arrangement.

Hostility by the locals?  It could be an issue.  But it's in an area of town where it's middle-class to working class folks, and no significant high-rollers.  At least it's got public transportation and two or three grocery stores within walking distance.
