[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bigger issue is why does ward 3 have to be burdened with a dreadful facility like this? Ward 3 pays more in personal income taxes than all of the other wards combined - that shoud buy freedom from a facility housing poors prone to violence and criminality. I never understood why the ward whose culture spawned the shelter residents in the first instance (chiefly wards 7 and 8) should not get to “enjoy” the fruits of their labor. [/quote]

This is the worst of the worst of Ward 3 tripe. We are a city. If you want to live on an island, move. Most of us understand that, while there are wealthier and less wealthy areas, it is better to distribute and not focus "all the poors" in one place. And, this is a TEMPORARY shelter for FAMILIES. You are a truly deplorable person and likely consider yourself to be an anti-Trump liberal. Look in the mirror. And if you are actually a pro-Trump conservative, then the shoe fits.[/quote]

Ward 3 must house poors bc “we are a city”? That does not follow. There are many ways to assist and Ward 3 has gone above and beyond helping the less desireable wards in terms of tax dollars— more than every other ward put together. But there is no recognition of that when forcing a housing facility on us. And why do you think it is a good idea to export the poors to wards that did not spawn them? That harms ward 3 and its property values and increases the crime rates in ward 3. Maybe its not ideal for all the facilities to be in ward 7 and 8, but there is a real cost of putting one in ward 3 to the community in ward 3 that is not being taken into account at all, which is annoying. Why not just have more shelters in wards 6 or 5 if you want to sprinkle them around? All you are accomplishing by putting a shelter in ward 3 is biting the hand that feeds wards 7 and 8. Stupid social policy and yes I am a liberal. But this is a stupid liberal idea. Looking at it honestly, none of my friends think it makes any sense. [/quote]
