[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say that a shelter does not negatively affect property values either don’t actually own property in Ward 3 or own property in ward 3 but far away from the shelter. Its not credible to say that a shelter housing people who have “poor” habits, eg, prone to criminality, will not negatively affect the surrounding neighborhood and amenities. I cant wait for the reactions when the first shelter resident or one of their friends assaults someone minding their own business nat the shopping center or robs someone walking home from work at night.This is a stupid, feel-good policy that is going to cause actual physical damage to some unlucky ward 3 residents not to mention the lower property values. [/quote] This is a family shelter, not like the shelter at Second and D ST NW. There are other shelters in Ward 3 and you don't even notice them. This one will be like those. You are stereotyping in the worst way. Like was said before, look in the mirror and just admit, you are a horrible person.[/quote] You own no property in Ward 3- just admit it. And you probably work in these shelters or have family that does. The 2d and D shelter, as you tacitly acknowledge, is among the most dangerous places in DC. Poors strewn everywhere in the surrounding streets, urinating and defacating in public, aggressive pan handlers, wild-eyed, strung out on drugs. Family shelter means highly irresponsible, single moms and fatherless children wilding in the streets. And boyfriends and baby daddies stopping by from time to time. Its like the 2d & D shelter, only with a younger, more energized population to prey on the ward 3 residents. Once you own valuable property, your views will change. Its easy to condemn neighborhoods where you dont live to with facilities like this. [/quote]
