[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's idiotic to say that homeless shelters don't have a negative effect on property values. Maybe it is slim but of course it is negative.[/quote]

The property value argument is a strawman. The vast majority of homeowners in ward 3 (and let's be honest, the majority is the nimby folks in this thread are ward 3)  have likey seen property values skyrocket in the last decade. You can take a $20k hit, even though I don't believe it will happen. It will share the area with a police station for goodness sake. [/quote]

Wow. This actually does sound like a Chavez land grab, if you pooh pooh a 20,000 'hit' on behalf of others. Why not redo DC general, where no new neighborhood will be impacted. Interesting what you say about the police. Hardened homeless are called out in front of the Giant there, sleeping under tree and bushes all the way up wisconsin ave. (you may not know it but we have homeless service stations in Ward 3), the from of the library in Tenleytown looks like a homeless celebration on the benches in the summer. We also have rising swoop in crimes and teen crime. Lets have the police, who haven't gotten a grip on that, babysit a shelter thats gone from 30 to 50 of uncertain population? How is this good for any neighborhood in D.C.? We have a sure which the local government has chosen not to renovate, it sounds like for financial and political gain. 
WH has a script? Who to call? How to organize? This is the tip of the iceberg of D.C.  Wealth redistribution which will help the poor about as much as it worked in Venezuela.[/quote]

This pp is probably the most savvy person on this thread. Read and learn, people![/quote]
