[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]dc homeless population drops 11%

Arlington's is on the rise--[b]by 33%[/b].  They are all over the neighborhood---just like I predicted when they started building the new homeless shelter right across the Bridge.  We have had them knock on the door in the middle of the night, squatting in neighbor's garages, walking down the middle of the street yelling profanities at moms/kids, and using all of the new construction port-o-potties.  They never stay in the shelters---but they do go there for meals and spill into the surrounding areas.  This is a known fact.  They don't take their medications and cause havoc on surrounding citizens.

Ah, liberalisim and the fruits of their labor.  Gotta love it![/quote]

Is the Arlington GOP opposing having homeless shelters?  Link?[/quote]

nobody in Arlington publicly opposes affordable housing initiatives (which are killing neighborhoods and the over-crowded schools in their zones) or against more homeless shelters.

arlingtonians pride themselves on being liberal, but so many are so naïve and from a place of wealth to begin with that they have absolutely zero idea of the repercussions like those of us few Arlingtonian residents that rose out of poverty and tried to get away from this stuff.[/quote]

So if the Arlington GOP supports it, its not liberalism, eh?  Sounds like there is consensus.

Sounds like you don't live in Arlington.   Perhaps you should no longer comment on its politics?   Or tell us at least where you do live, so we can discuss the success of that place, and how well it deals with issues of poverty and homelessness.
