[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you say about the people who's home value will decrease due to proximity to the shelters?[/quote]
I say (1) provide proof of this phenomenon and (2) spell whose properly.[/quote]
Different poster (who hopefully will pass the grammar test! :-) ).

HUD research paper addressing property values and crime associated with homeless shelters.

[quote]Quantitative Analysis of Property Value Impacts

Overall, we found that the set of eleven supportive housing facilities we analyzed for the
price impact analysis was associated with a positive impact on house prices in the surrounding
neighborhood. ... While the average relationship between this set of supportive housing facilities and
proximate house prices was positive, not all site/neighborhood combinations in Denver
experienced the same relationship. When we disaggregated our analysis to measure impacts for
different common clusters of sites/neighborhoods, [u]we found that the set of five supportive housing
sites located in low-valued, heavily minority-occupied (typically majority Black-occupied)
neighborhoods consistently evinced the positive price impacts noted above[/u]. [u]By contrast, the site
in the highest-value, overwhelmingly white-occupied neighborhood apparently had a negative
effect on house prices, as did another (poorly maintained) site in a modestly valued, high-density
core neighborhood having 24 percent of its population classified as Hispanic.[/u]

Then according to that article we should put the shelters in Wards 7/8 as it will raise their property values.  It will lower property values anywhere else.[/quote]
