[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well good news is construction of the shelter isn't anticipated to be complete until summer of 2019 so for all the posters freaking out about the Ward 3 homeless families shelter site you've got plenty of time to buy your guns or get your neighborhood watch militias organized or simply pack your shit and move elsewhere.

If you live next to the shelter, don't worry that you'll be taking a 20% hit to market value over what you could have sold for before the site was announced.  Someone has to take one for the team, and people like the prior poster are quietly glad that it's not them and their neighbors.  You know, "One DC," and all that.[/quote]

I'd rather have that problem (GASP!! - 20% hit to market value) than the problems that the people who live in the shelter have to deal with.[/quote

Do tell us about your effort to house a homeless family and rallying your neighbors to do the same. Do you have an English basement or spare room to let? I'm sure you'd invite them in with no concerns or preconditions because they are homeless? [/quote]

Can you read?  I simply said I'd rather have one problem over the other, that I'd rather be faced with one predicament over the other.  I didn't say I was Mother Theresa and truth be told I have no aspirations to be - I'm happy with who I am and believe me, I'm happy with the problems that I have because they pale in comparison to the problems that others have to face in their lives particularly homeless people.

Or people whose property value plummets 20%. You do know that going underwater leads to homelessness. I'm curious why you have zero sympathy for them? Who is helping them or giving them a handout? Do you think they somehow gamed the system to buy their homes? [/quote]

Yeah you definitely have reading comprehension issues.  Either that or you're a jackass looking for a fight.  Well, I may not be Mother Theresa but I'm all for giving needy people a hug...
[i][color=blue]I sympathize so, so very much for people who's property values will plummet as a result of the planned shelter that will be erected in their neighborhood for people who have no such advantage of home equity.[/color][/i]  
You okay now?  Feel better?  Am I allowed to hold the opinion that I'd rather be in one person's shoes than the other now?
[/quote]

You can hold any opinion you wish. However, for such an "empathetic" person (empathetic means standing in anothers shoes), your exaggerated GASP was pretty coldhearted to people for whom 20% is a real thing and may be keeping them up at night with worry. [/quote]
