VABills Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 There comes a point in time that you set politics aside, and get these homeless folks some place to live. But not this guy, he would rather please the larger group, get the votes in a few weeks then to get these poor women and children a place to live. http://www.adelphia.net/news/read.php?ps=1...LARSDCCLM_UNEWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for Christian beliefs, not the way I was raised, we housed a family in our house during the Blizzard of 77 when their power went out and ours didn't.

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Couldn't they find a better place for a trailer park than within a gated community? How many gated communities around the country would agree to let the Gov't build a trailer park within their community? Probably none. Gated communities usually have all kinds of restrictions for their residents including the color that you paint your house, type of roof, and whether you can even park a pickup truck in your driveway. These restrictions are meant to keep the community housing values up. Forcing these people to accept a trailer park within their community just because they have some open space is wrong.

Also notice that these were intended for single women with children. It is likely they were also trying to offer them some "minimal" protection that they may not get in a community that is out of the way or worse yet in the squallers with tons of homeless men or men in shelters. Not a good combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
