[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? why is wanting to be able to walk down the street at night without getting groped or robbed wrong? What is wrong with not wanting to shop at the cheap stores on the pike? What is wrong with not wanting half drunk men hanging out drinking beer and smoking cigarettes when i go to certain places on the pike. Oh, and I would like to go to a Burger King that has not had more than one murder in the couple years I have lived here? Oh, and one gets tired of getting hit up for money while INSIDE a fast food store like Wendy's, Boston market

I make good money and have paid my dues. I have a nice house. Why am I not entitled, if that is the word, to have services and stores near me I wish to patronize? You sound like there is something wrong with making money and being successful?

Why do you feel people who are poor and/or immigrants are entitled to have taxpayers pay a large portion of their rent, food and have their children educated on the public's dime? Why do you feel there is any entitlement to keep the western end of the pike the poorest part of the county?

Seriously, careful accusing anyone who has worked their ass off and entered the middle class, or higher, as being having some wrongful sense of entitlement. I personally do support helping out those who have less then me. Hell, if that were not a priority for many communities my family would have remained poor immigrant. What I do not support is making block after block of the pike affordable housing. We were promised mixed income on the pike. We did not get it.

Preach.

You know who has a problem with affordable housing? 
The people living in it...

Guess what? With tons of afford housing comes tons of problems. The people currently living in it have asked that the concentration be stopped. They were hoping to raise their children in a more intergrated community.
