[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And sorry, typing on  my phone. I don't question your kind intentions. I question that they are really helping. I think the homeless need far more. Intervention and support than simply being spread around. And I think it shod be acknowledged that they exhibit many nuisance behaviors that are hard on neighbors. These are very dysfunctional humans who need serious help, not cite strays that it's fun to feed. [/quote]

Again the shelter proposed for your neighborhood that you are paranoid about is to serve as transitional short term housing for families recently made homeless.

You keep talking about the mentally ill long term homeless who often also have substance abuse issues and are difficult to employ.

This shelter will be serving people who for whatever reason have hit a stretch of bad luck and need housing to get back on their feet - many of these folks are even employed.

One of the reasons to immediately house these people and get them back on their feet is so that they and their children don't become part of the long term homeless population - get them sheltered and protected and keep them employed or employable and keep their kids in school rather than allowing their situation to deteriorate which is bad for everyone including taxpayers.[/quote]
