[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this thread has devolved into the expected moralizing. Can't wait to get back to inventing reasons why this plan is worse for the homeless than DC general. [/quote]

No inventions.  Many very legitimate, substantive, serious and non-NIMBY points have been raised about many aspects of the plan.  They were not addressed.

If you want to get back on topic and defend your off-base "invented" comment then maybe you ought to think about coming up with some better answers.[/quote]

NIMBYs always think they have a case.  Saying the city needs to figure out the magic answer to homelessness in order to be worthy of putting a shelter in your neighborhood is a red herring.  [/quote]

Nobody is looking for a magic answer. What residents are looking for is a well-run, well-staffed facility that will benefit the residents by providing the support and skills necessary to break the cycle without doing damage to the surrounding neighborhood. [/quote]
