Clearly you have not been to this kind of thing. It's always the protesters who show up. Very few people come out to advocate for something that is OK to them unless they really badly want that thing.

Find me a place in Fairfax that is not within one mile of a school or a daycare in any direction. You can't. This is nonsense.

More than you obviously, if it wasn't that big an issue people wouldn't have shown up. More to the point, only people for this don't live here

You seem to be new to the concept of NIMBYism.

Oh I understand, which is why it isn't next to Arlington, or the county building where it should be. Police have stated it will cause crime increases - no one sensible would want this.

And senior center is on the same property

Let's move it to McLean or Oakton instead. They have less of a crowded infrastructure then our area.
I'm sure the SAHM's there won't mind

I am a sahp in McLean and I would welcome a homeless shelter in my neighborhood.

Great! Come out to the next board meeting and you could propose that an alternative site

I'm sure the county could find some space in Mclean. Although it seems John Foust [lives in Mclean] and is the Dranesville District supervisor uses the Reston one. Herndon issues flow into Reston. Reston can reclaim it's library and go family only!

How do you propose the homeless get to McLean or Oakton

The same way they would get here

the blue line?

There is no metro stop here.

Van dorn. Or is that too far for homeless people to walk? I was under the impression that they were going to be walking from school to school, hopping fences and terrorizing the students then settling I at the lobby of the old folks home to watch tv while they divide up what they stole that day.

It's way too far.

Yeah, it's way-too-far. But walking from the shelter to Parkland school and back is a piece of cake. Even though that is the same distance.

Y'all have some serious geography challenges. I lived there and used to walk to Van Dorn from time to time with a bag for the airport. It is not too far.

Putting your shelter on the edge of another county is kind of a dick move.

The shelters should be walkable to metro-Dunn Loring, tysons. A bunch of homeless guys might have been stuck out in weihle overnight - about 8 guys removed by metro popo in W or E falls church - gathered up trash bags of beer cans food containers then dumped it on the tracks.

And a senior center. With a daycare, elementary school, private schools as less than 1/10 a mile away I find this an atrocious move. Citizens of the area are concerned for their kids safety as well as the safety of their elderly realitives in the senior center. My daughter goes to the very good Catholic school that is about three hundred yards away. This sickens my stomach.

OP, this is where this awful "Pope", or really antiPope, hurts the many. The Diocese in Arlington focuses on what matters, which is the sanctity of our Eucharist, our Church, and Life itself. This antiPope, however, with his embrace of "mercy", engages in unilateral disarmament against the "social justice" people. These types, who infest County government, want to take over our land and resources all over the place to meet their vision of "Utopia".

If not for John Vihstadt and Libby Garvey's wins in Arlington, these people would be going after the Chancery's parking lot on North Glebe Road in Arlington, to build so-called affordable housing. And this antiPope would ORDER Bishop Loverde to capitulate.

When you build this type of place, you never know who will swing by in the middle of the night seeking shelter--people who would even snuggle with animals and bring back disease to the rest of us as they beg for their supper. No thank you. I am sick to my stomach for you, and especially for your daughter.

You ought to be absolutely ashamed of yourself, you sick, sick person. You sound absolutely pathetic and delusional.

Actually google maps has VAn Dorn over double the distance.

I said there and back. The distance to get to the shelter is the same as the supposed round trip to terrorize park lawn.

Here's an article about how Shepherd Park mobilized to fight against a homeless shelter that would have been placed nearby by Montgomery County.

When officials of nearby Montgomery County proposed building a homeless shelter a stone’s throw from Shepherd Park, just across the District line, more than 200 residents banded together in protest and persuaded the officials to change their minds.

PP, that poster doesn't care about ParkLawn as its mostly minorities and non white rich liberals. So she's ok with a slew of vagrants walking around the neighborhood unmonitored.

You seem to be under the impression that we "monitor" the homeless. they are Americans not al Qaeda.

[Anonymous]

You should look at the area crime reports map for that intersection. You won't even notice a homeless shelter from a law enforcement perspective.
