Context for the latter article. The objections relate to the "architecture" and lack of local consultation, not the principle of humanely caring for refugees. A quote:

“It looks like a prison, and it feels like a prison. And yet it was meant to be a welcoming place for refugees.”

“It's the least welcoming place.”
