[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess you would know if you lived anywhere near it, but one-way residential side streets that are already so busy that they have restrictions on them; overcrowded schools, and overcrowded public transportation (and by the way, when I say public transportation, I mean buses--there isn't a Metro station within walking distance). You should see the line to get a Wisconsin Ave bus at the corner of Wisconsin Ave and Calvert in the mornings. Zoning laws exist for a reason.  [/quote]

:roll:  Better these families be sent to a motel in PG County than have a few more people wait for the bus or another multi-family housing structure be built fronting Wisconsin Avenue.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Cathedral Heights is part of a larger city and Stoddert is capable of educating a few more kids.[/quote]

It doesn't have to be a motel. It could be a shelter in a mess expensive cost effective place where it won't break the zoning laws. This isn't a socialist country and some of these comments have socialist undertones by saying "If you live in a nice expensive neighborhood, everyone should." I wish everyone could live in a nice neighborhood and I support the shelters but I think the ward 4 location is a mistake for a number of reasons. [/quote]
