[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not against the "all ward" plan. At all. And DC General must be shut. But, as has been stated several times, the way the Mayor has tried to steamroll this plan is wrong and undemocratic and shady. What DOES she have planned for the spot where DC General now sits? Is she hoping to lure football back into the city and get Dan Snyder to finally meet with her? Why would she give all the contractors sweetheart deals where they get to reclaim the property in a decade or two? Does she think we will have solved homelessness by then and we won't need shelters? Where are the impact studies? (for roads, public schools, parking, etc.). Where is an explanation about how all the wrap-around services will work?

Has she looked at other metropolitan areas to see which cities are doing a good job on sheltering the homeless and helping them graduate out of that category? Has she presented any models where a city's plan is yielding serious success?

[b]This idea is half-baked and being done in the shadows and is being driven by intentions that have nothing to do with serving the homeless.[/b] [/quote]
