[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live near the proposed location on Idaho and we and are neighbors are all on the phones with our realtors. It's great to talk about the theory of why this is good for diversity purposes and to aid the homeless, but when you have a front row seat, it's not so great. Promise property values down by 10% in immediately surrounding areas. [/quote] And these pissed off neighbors will also redirect their large charitable contributions away from charities servicing the DC population. Where does the DC government think these private service providers who support the city's less fortunate get a big chunk of their money? The council and mayor seem almost gleeful to shove this crazy plan through regardless of whether it has a real chance of success, and is alienating some of the DC residents who, through taxes, high donations and service do a great deal for the city. Bethesda and Arlington are looking better and better. [/quote]
