[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The housing should come with daycare vouchers and job interviews - there are tons of businesses of Wisconsin ave. These homeless parents could work at while their kids are in school/daycare and start the move to independence. [/quote]

Now this is something that I think most people can agree. But, why are people only concerned about Ward 3. Are the people in Ward 3 more precious than the citizens in the other 7 Wards where these facilities will be placed.  The answer to that is "Hell to the No".  [/quote]

Because the illustrious residents of Ward 3 are more likely than the residents of Ward 7 to view homeless families as inherently different and something that needs to be protected against. You need look no further than the very sincere poster above who worked really hard to shelter her kids so that they would never have to interact with poor people to realize this.

Also, there are a lot of retail opportunities up and down Wisconsin Avenue, whereas parts of Ward 7 lack retail of any kind other than the odd corner store and Boost Mobile place.[/quote]
