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.

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

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

To an outsider from the west coast with a spouse from Europe, VA has a reputation of being a "gun loving backward state". These types of incidences just fuel that stereotype. I'm sure there are some lovely people in VA, though.

Yet you're okay with the crime and drugs - and massive gun crime rate - of Maryland..ok

Goes to show why most people don't take the opinions of of foreigners seriously as they really have no clue

Parklawn, Belvedere and Mary Queen of Apostles

Maybe the third, but it's not that close to the first two public schools. Parklawn is at the other end of Lincolnia Road and Belvedere is almost in Annandale.

ParkLawn is less than a mile

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.

God forbid the Catholics should embrace the poor!

Your post is oozing with irony, genius.

Ummm, in the eyes of some on this site, Burke and West Springfield are for the poors. Nice try, though.

Lol in the eyes of people who think their poo smells like roses yes but no one values their fat asses

You married an European? You might as well have married a socialist

I live near the current site of the shelter. Yes, God forbid, one does sometimes see homeless people on Columbia Pike. Where do you want them to go?

Want fewer shelters? Support mental health services. Places like So Others Might Eat in DC provide a roadmap to helping people out of homelessness. We don't have anything quite like it in VA.

Good question. That's why it was asked. They have no where to go by the residential area that has nice homes where no one is home. Easy targets for criminals. Plus two elementary schools, two daycares and a senior home. All soft targets for criminals.

Seems like this is part of an effort to redevelop Bailey's Crossroads, which should be welcomed.

Cool, since you don't have an issue with it, FFX should just leave it there. Oh wait, a developer wants to or overpriced condos up, never mind

Meanwhile they won't redevelop here. It's I welcomed here. We have a crime issue as it is.

Wait till the homeless figure out that they can squat in a residence and make it theirs! Perhaps that nice professor from Columbia University can offer his classes in squatting for free?

You are doing VA no favors with your ignorance. I'm actually Republican.

I'll gladly take a homeless shelter over a GUN STORE near a school. One promotes compassion and the other promotes killing. I know which lesson I want to teach my children.

One is a rights guaranteed in the Constitution the other isn't. So there's that.

Second, there would be no place for a gunshop by the school as its a residential area so your point is moot
