[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked really, really hard for half my adult life to get as far away from "affordable housing" (and the people who live there) as I could. And I cringe every time I hear people who NEVER grew up poor talk about how they want to import poor people into their neighborhoods, as though they're some kind of pet or horticultural specimen. As someone who grew up poor, in affordable housing, hear me when I say this: you don't want people like the ones who surrounded me while growing up living down the block from you. You DO NOT want this. [/quote] Nor do you want DC to basically invite as many homeless as possible with taxpayer welcome mat. I think our council should be forced to take a trip to SF, talk with their leaders about the mess they are having, and then figure out how to be humane but not end up with CA size homeless challenges .
