[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's stupid for the City to pay inflated Ward 3 prices (or inflated prices in other Wards) for homeless shelters.  Better to locate those shelters in less expensive neighborhoods where the space is cheaper, and collect tax dollars from whatever businesses or people will pay to be in the more expensive Wards.  To make matters worse, the City is now paying extra to build this new shelter in Ward 3.

The only reason we're dealing with this mess is because Bowser wants to score political points by "spreading the homeless" across all Wards.  That's a really dumb basis for public policy decisions.[/quote]

The city owns the land where the Ward 3 shelter is being built so they didn't pay inflated prices for it.

Nice try though.[/quote]

No, but they are paying inflated prices to build a simple above-ground parking garage -- $10 Million -- because Mary Cheh forgot to check with the police department when She decreed the poiice parking lot as the site for the shelter.  #NotasSmartasSheThinks[/quote]
