And a senior center.  With a daycare, elementary school, private schools as less than 1/10 a mile away I find this an atrocious move.  Citizens of the area are concerned for their kids safety as well as the safety of their elderly realitives in the senior center.  My daughter goes to the very good Catholic school that is about three hundred yards away.  [b]This sickens my stomach[/b].[/quote]

It sickens your stomach.  What is wrong with you?  Just b/c they are homeless you believe their are all violent criminals.  WOW.

You are pretty awful OP.

But lets just say you are right, homeless shelters have a curfew and typically the guests can't come and go as they please throughout the night, so based on your judgment of the homeless isn't it better to have them be inside a shelter safely away from the kids and elderly?

BTW if your kid goes to a "very good Catholic school" there is a pretty good chance there is at least one homeless child there on scholarship. Speaking of your daughter being in Catholic school I am pretty sure they are not teachering her to be judgmental and sickened by the less fortunate.  Maybe you should go to school with your daughter tomorrow.

I have an idea, let's move it to your neighborhood right next to the school and see how you feel.  I think that's a great idea.  There's no screening these people to see if they're mentally unstable which a lot are.  This is a safety issue and as other have noted it brings crime[/quote]

I live in courthouse, there is homeless shelter by the metro about 1/2 mile from where I live and 3 or 4 blocks from the elementary school. I am fine with it.  
Try again![/quote]

NP.  And homeless people wander around Clarendon all the time.  No impact on home prices.  One dude is really loud, though.  Local flavor.  Keeps the spineless millennials on their toes.[/quote]

et me guess. The two PP's who are "fine with" homeless people in courthouse are dead-end supporters of Libby Garvey's "challenger". They are Tejada diehards, belong to VOICE and volunteer at "community assistance", "make sandwiches for day ""laborers"" and other "if you build it, they will come" things. Got it.[/quote]

You guessed wrong.[/quote]
