[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which schools would this be close to?[/quote]
Parklawn, Belvedere and Mary Queen of Apostles [/quote]

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.[/quote]
ParkLawn is less than a mile[/quote]

Not according to google maps it's not.  Distances must seem closer to you when you are afraid.[/quote]
Actually google maps said it is.try again [/quote]

Sorry but even if you measure from the very tip of the property, which is blocked by a large black fence, the distance to 4710 North Chambliss Street, Alexandria is 1.0 miles.  The distance to an actual entrance is even farther.   It's a straight shot down Lincolnia, so there is really nothing to dispute. [/quote]
There will be no large fence around the shelter, the proposed site to the school property is less than a mile.  And half a mile to a day care and Catholic school where little kids are outside playing.  This is undisputed fact[/quote]

OK give me the exact longitude and latitude of the points you are measuring, and the distance.  I have measured it three times.  The property I was referring to was the school, which actually has a big black fence at that tip.  Fact.

And since I am a Catholic, I have no problem saying that we have an obligation to the poor and I am unafraid of my children being within a half mile of them.  In fact my children are less than a half mile from homeless people all the time.[/quote]
