[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well looks like the shelter in Ward 3 is going up despite all those wonderful points you made so once it gets up and running I'd say the best way for you and other nearby residents to help the families who will be living there is not to treat em like crap. By all means take your ire out on Mayor Bowser and the Council and whatever other politicians you have issue with if it's not too much trouble try not to shit all over people who are just trying to get their lives back together.[/quote]
1. I haven't seen anyone - even the people who think this shelter is stupid and who don't want it there - propose treating homeless people who live there poorly.  That's just a made-up scare tactic by people like you.  All people want good neighbors.  If shelter residents are good neighbors, then people will treat them like good neighbors.  If shelter residents are shitty neighbors, then people will complain.  That's why working with the surrounding community to negotiate a good neighbor agreement should be a priority.

2. It's not so clear to me the Ward 3 shelter is actually going to happen.  Isn't it still tied up in legal and zoning battles?  I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shelved for reconsideration.

3. I absolutely want people to hold Bowser accountable for this mess.  You should too.[/quote]

Okay so everybody's happy.  The families in the shelter will get the upmost respect and support from the community despite residents anger and resentment to the process that put the shelter there to begin with and the residents get to raise hell and call for politicians heads.  Fantastic glad we got that straightened out.[/quote]
