[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People work all of their lives to get AWAY from the poors and their propensity for violence, criminality and indolence. And Chey sticks a shelter for the poors right next to them. [/quote]

If Cheh were so committed to the shelter, she would have put it in her own neighborhood of Forest Hills.  Not.[/quote]

I'm not much of a Cheh fan, but you can't accuse her of hypocrisy here: Before the current site was selected, she did propose a Forest Hills site that is just 2 blocks from her house.[/quote]

Not really, and she knew that the site was privately owned when her position was that the shelter should be built on private land.  She proposed the 2D site and then rushed approvals through without full hearings and a public consideration of alternatives.

The real question is why she so quickly turned against the original site of the Ward 3 shelter in Massachusetts Heights, citing neighbor (perhaps major donor?) concerns.  Yet then she proceeded to ignore the concerns of residents in Cathedral Heights/McLean Gardens about the Idaho Ave. location, saying that any site would face opposition and so DC just needed to push forward.

Cheh has long pretended to be a good government type, but her recent "shady" private tree bill for a favored developer suggests that her opposition to the Mass. Ave. site was also to do a favor for a crony.[/quote]
