[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people in Ward 3 who pay the most for the City get rewarded with a homeless shelter, a big middle-finger from the DC gov. Why not put the homeless shelter in the prison?         [/quote]

I don't support putting it in the prison. I do support putting it At current DC General (refurbished or razed or rebuilt) or in an out of the way place that actually does not invite permanent living.  People should be moving to mixed income living if they are able to help themselves and their children and THAT should be the city's focus--especially with the amount of transitional neighborhoods and opportunities we have. If they're unable, they should be in dorms or hospital type setting receiving care and services.[/quote]

"Out of the way place"?  I have a hard time keeping track but wasn't one of the criticisms of the Wisconsin Ave site that it was not near Metro, jobs or supportive services.  Any suggestions on where these families should be placed while DC General us razed and rebuilt?  I think the DC Jail is already occupied, so maybe an open air encampment inside RFK?  [/quote]
