[quote=Anonymous]I am.actually looking for responses from those who oppose the plan. Is opposition by D.C. residents not allowed? Again, I have benefitted from aid in DC and worked in social services - to answer your question Jeff - I have both been around and practical been one of the people you're talking about. I do not live near one of the proposed sites, though that is relative. I pass through one of the proposed areas often. My gripe is that we have limited, not endless, resources to help people and I genuinely think thi is a boondoggle and not the best way. I would love to see one efficient site and monies directed to the social services people need (I needed) for independence: Especially quality daycare. Can you show me in the plan where the needs to become independent and self sustaining, which is good for the dependent children as they grow up, are addressed by these minishelters? I want to see people in D.C. moved to independence. Otherwise, I don't see the difference in where the shelter is. Sorry if that lacks empathy for you.

I propose an addendum to the plan: It be built on the nearest available land to the councilmembers and mayor. #skininthegame[/quote]
