[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The proposed site is on the corner of Laurel street, across from where they hold the Farmer's market. There's no playground, no parking, nothing!
Surely can't be zoned for that!

WAMU reporter on Twitter cites Board of zoning saying that indeed, the site would need to be rezoned for that kind of purpose. The city council and mayor are all stronlgy against this. I just worry that somehow Congress can bigfoot it and force it there.

The pressure is ramping up on Douglas Development, that owns the building in question to terminate the lease/planned lease.

Can someone please explain why there is so much push back against this?  What is the issue?[/quote]

It is a prison for children who have done nothing wrong. We should not be tearing them from their families and keeping them in cages. [/quote]

Where do you want the kids to go??  The parents did something wrong when they crossed the border illegally.  Whether you agree or not, the kids need somewhere safe to go.  Would you rather Trump is in charge of them or Bowser?[/quote]

Prison is not a safe place for kids. They belong with their families instead of getting raped by an ICE agent. [/quote]
