[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from Western Maryland, and the Feds, Maryland, and the county have built prisons in the area to "rejuvenate it." It has the opposite as it has worsened already bad schools, housing, crime, and unsavoriness. Placing homeless shelters in the area would have a similar effect -- not from families -- but from the homeless. If homeless advocates believe that many of the homeless are suffering form mental health issues, the least thing they need is to be dumped in an area with limited mental health and medical care, strained social welfare services, and exacerbate the petty crime problem. My city is hanging on by its fingernails and another blow like this would put it under. Why foist the problems created by cities on rural areas?[/quote] For you, Hagerstown or Cumberland or wherever is home. For the OP, it's just "away" - the same "away" as in "throw away".[/quote]
