[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The redevelopment plan for the area around DC General has ZERO accommodation for homeless. http://dmped.dc.gov/page/hill-east-district-redevelopment That's a problem. Council should not let them move forward.[/quote] Why? Show me another area of the city which has new development that accommodates the homeless? DC General is an old hospital and needs to be torn down. It is sitting on prime river front real estate. Why should one neighborhood have to shoulder the burden of all the city's homeless. I live near DC General and the sad fact is all the homeless families are a significant drain on the local neighborhood. I think the smaller shelters around the city are better for the homeless and the city (although I agree Bowser's plan is less than perfect). Smaller shelters allow homeless families to not be so isolated and ostracized. [/quote]
