Fairfax county wants to erect homeless shelter next to schools

[Anonymous]

Or seven corners or bailey's crossroads.

But NEVER next to a school

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.

It sickens your stomach. What is wrong with you? Just b/c they are homeless you believe their are all violent criminals. WOW.

You are pretty awful OP.

But lets just say you are right, homeless shelters have a curfew and typically the guests can't come and go as they please throughout the night, so based on your judgment of the homeless isn't it better to have them be inside a shelter safely away from the kids and elderly?

BTW if your kid goes to a "very good Catholic school" there is a pretty good chance there is at least one homeless child there on scholarship. Speaking of your daughter being in Catholic school I am pretty sure they are not teachering her to be judgmental and sickened by the less fortunate. Maybe you should go to school with your daughter tomorrow.

I have an idea, let's move it to your neighborhood right next to the school and see how you feel. I think that's a great idea. There's no screening these people to see if they're mentally unstable which a lot are. This is a safety issue and as other have noted it brings crime

I live in courthouse, there is homeless shelter by the metro about 1/2 mile from where I live and 3 or 4 blocks from the elementary school. I am fine with it.
Try again!

NP. And homeless people wander around Clarendon all the time. No impact on home prices. One dude is really loud, though. Local flavor. Keeps the spineless millennials on their toes.

et me guess. The two PP's who are "fine with" homeless people in courthouse are dead-end supporters of Libby Garvey's "challenger". They are Tejada diehards, belong to VOICE and volunteer at "community assistance", "make sandwiches for day ""laborers"" and other "if you build it, they will come" things. Got it.

They have two shelters in Reston already, and one not far from George Mason. I think people don't even know they are there. Why? Because a homeless shelter is not the blight that these people make it out to be.

u

Yes, we do. Library is horrible. I won't use Town Center garage staircases. Illegals make the Lake Anne plaza and the south Reston community center areas scary due to crime. Don't try to go to the Water Mine anymore.

Clarendon is densely commercial. I think that's ideal for a homeless shelter. No issue there so long as it isn't next to a school library or senior center.

We just explained there was a shelter in Courthouse right near an elementary school.

PPs point was in close-in "nice" neighborhoods like Courthouse and Clarendon there are shelters and homeless people and it has not impacted crime or housing prices.

I'm waiting til they bring in second way houses for paroled black thugs next to your schools. You liberals are the biggest hypocrites the world has ever know.

I am not a liberal and I don't want homeless shelters in VA. That's what Maryland is for.

So, you want to ship out all the homeless out of VA to MD?

As a MD resident, I would gladly pay to build a wall to keep you Virginians out. I thought the state motto was "VA is for lovers", but just only if you have money, apparently.

Clarendon is commercial and dense and doesn't have elementary schools within a quick walking distance either

You should build a walk to keep yourselves in. Most of us don't want your crime or drugs

There is an elementary school at 2300 Key Blvd. It is absolutely within quick walking distance to Clarendon as is the shelter already in Courthouse that is 3 blocks away. Stop trying to find a new home. A homeless shelter is not going to be the downfall of a neighborhood even if it is next to a school.

Parklawn, Belvedere and Mary Queen of Apostles

These people are full of crap.

Mary Queen of Apostles is .6 miles away.
Belvedere is 2.4 miles away.
Park lawn is 1.5 miles away.

And to the Catholic poster, you are a bad Catholic. You know your catechism.

Wrong. The playground at ParkLawn is less than a quarter of a mile and there is a public park and batting cages. You can walk there from my house in three minutes and I'm further down the road

That's a playground, not the school referenced above.

If you want homeless people to stay out of your parks, you are going to have to build homeless shelters.

You're wrong again. The playground is on school property. Google maps has it at less than a mile to ParkLawn. And half a mile to Mary Queen of Apostles. That is danger close with daycare in the Catholic school and another daycare academy less than a mile down the road

Clarendon is city, Lincolnia is more suburbs. Two elementary schools, senior citizens home and two pre-schools. It's danger close

Build it next to an unemployment office.

lol ... because VA has no crime or drugs ... lol. They do sure have college shootings, a gun store next to an ES, and now apparently homeless shelters next to schools. Lovely. I've, driven through certain parts of VA, and it was very scary. Yes, there are scary parts in MD, too, as there are in probably most states, but I don't pretend it doesn't exist.

Other than Western Maryland and Eastern Shore, the whole state is a cesspool. Let's be honest
