[quote=Anonymous]It's clear to me that the discontent with the Mayors plan is the tip of the ice berg in DC. How did we become a year round shelter city? How will these eight sites address that? What to do with the homeless who refuse shelter or treatment? How to avoid having the streets of SanFrancisco with the hardened homeless? How to encourage affordable housing and people.moving to independence?

I think the cart was put before the horse with the mayors plan and the interconnected issues should be carefully studies, taking into account what the taxpayers of DC actually want. The homeless advocates and developers together form a powerful lobby. Those of us opposed to these precipitous plans are individual voices. How do we mobilize, stop this plan in its tracks, and encourage the city entities to go back to the drawing board and create a long term plan good for the wellbeing and growth of all members if DC, not just vocal lobbies?

Step A is scrap this plan so it does nit create more unintended consequences that have to be addressed down the road. Thoughts on uniting to do this? Where's our lobby?[/quote]
