[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that Bowser's main impetus to close DC General isn't to enhance services for homeless families?  (The mayor has yet to explain how DC will deliver services more capably and efficiently on a vasty decentralized basis when it was incapable of delivering them in one principal location.)  No, the main reason, dear readers, is that Bowser's developer cronies want to redevelop the DC General property for upscale housing and mixed-use.  [/quote]

And why is that necessarily a bad thing?   It is a big piece of under utilized property that hosted a poorly functioning shelter.  Fix the shelter and redevelop the property - seems like a win win to me?[/quote]

Why would we trust them to build 8 more shelters when they couldn't fix and run the one they had? Seems a stretch to me. [/quote]

I have seen nothing to suggest that DC will be better equipped to manage 8 new decentralized shelters, I can easily see most of these shelters descending to **** after a few years like what happened with DC General.[/quote]
