Could I suggest that you guys not take your anger out on the homeless? You are making a pretty ugly scene. I have no idea what was going through the minds of these folks when they found themselves homeless, but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't, "Great! Now I get to move into a neighborhood where everyone hates us.". They aren't the ones who decided where to locate these shelters and I'm sure they have enough problems without you blaming them for a plan they may not even know about and certainly didn't influence.

I am not angry at the homeless and I have not attacked them, except concerns with safety, which based on statistics there is higher crime and behavioral issues with teens and children from these homes. Ask wards 5 and 6 if you don't believe it. I have said repeatedly I want to help them and think they should get housing, but I don't like the idea and concept of parts of this plan. Some of the comments from supporters of the plan sound as if they think housing redistribution should be part of the plan and that everyone should be able to live in expensive neighborhoods. I wish everyone could live in expensive neighborhoods but they can't unless we become a socialist country or unless the middle man that doesn't qualify for subsidies but is not wealthy enough, will be penalized as always. There are other options than placing shelters in expensive locations just to prove that the whole city is taking on the issue. [/quote]

Agree.  I also have not attacked the homeless - I've called Bowser's plan out as at best being half-baked, poorly planned, and poorly thought out, and at worst, corrupt and wired to make her cronies in real estate rich.  And thus far, nobody has refuted either of those.[/quote]
