[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First Bowser and now Cheh preaching this gospel about how we all have to share the wealth and make sacrifices and wagging their fingers at NIMBYs, yet evidently they think we can't understand geography well enough to recognize that they themselves are miles from the nearest proposed shelter...[/quote]
To be fair to Cheh, one of the sites she proposed for consideration is two blocks from her house.  The Ward 4 site was on the opposite corner of Ward 4 from Bowser.  Indeed if you look at the map, for almost every Ward, the proposed site is near the edge of the Ward, so each shelter is almost in another Ward.  So for most Wards, most of the residents can console themselves by saying most of the shelter problems will spill over into another part of the city.

My biggest problem with the plan is that it's too wrapped up in politics.  Pick the most effective site for each shelter regardless of politics.  Putting one in each Ward is just a political maneuver that makes the whole plan needlessly complex.[/quote]
