[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like at least one person is bitter that a few homeless families will have temporary shelter in a "nice" ward because they don't deserve to live there.[/quote]

No that's not what I posted. I am just familiar with that neighborhood and it is really preppy and there's lots of shopping and restaurants etc... that are pricey so I was surprised that would be a good location for families with no money. I have no problem with them moving there. It was just my initial reaction to hearing that location. [/quote]

The fact that a family has become homeless does not mean they have "no money."  Guess what?  Homeless people have cell phones and go shopping and ... gasp ... sometimes eat at restaurants.  We're not talking about vagrants and panhandlers.  So glad to hear that you have "no problem" with finding homes for families.  Just make sure to lock the doors on your Range Rover when passing by.  Have you ever driven by DC General or thought about families living in crappy motels on NY Avenue?[/quote]

Ok angry is back. Yikes. Simmer down.  Well now you're making it sound even worse. You're now saying they can't afford a house but they can afford to go out to expensive restaurants and have expensive phones? You're not doing them any favors with these comments. I've given more money in support of the homeless probably way more than you can ever imagine. I fully support them. Just been thinking maybe upper georgetown is not the best place for a homeless shelter. Doesn't affect me one way or the other. [/quote]
