[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday I took a walk on Wisonsin.  Street Sense guy sleeping in bushes, homeless woman weaving in traffic, homeless woman panhandling by Macomb McDonalds. Our city leaders are turning this place into SF.  ONE CONSOLIDATED shelter with buses and on site services. It does not need to be near metro or bus. Have a shuttle for apts. and a school bus for the kids This is supposed to be a temporary living arrangement yes? 120 days, yes??  Focus the money on affordable housing for  those who are able to develop self-management skills with the interim support provided at the ONE CONSOLIDATED shelter.  This is insanity. I'm born in DC, I've received social services which I deeply appreciated/needed at the time and hope I have repaid by becoming a productive, self supporting, giving back resident. I completely support help for the working poor--day care etc/whatever it takes to be self-reliant.  I am entirely unsympathetic to this boondoggle, wasteful plan. OPEN your eyes bleeding hearts. This is a wasteful plan and I guarantee it will not move anyone to self-sufficiency. These will become permanent homes and then they will need to build more.[/quote]
