Your presumptions merely reveal your "not in my backyard mentality."<br /><br />I say, you're rather stuck up, indeed!<br /><br /><br /><br />Gemma RoblesGemma Roblesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-82549713298822833892013-10-18T16:17:12.652-04:002013-10-18T16:17:12.652-04:00To the two anonymous posters who are trying to say...To the two anonymous posters who are trying to say anyone against this project lacks compassion or is somehow otherwise stuck up, please save your self-preening sanctimony. <br /><br />I think people can have reasonable concerns about cramming 170 men into what was originally designed to be a 10 modestly sized condos without accusations of elitism entering the fray. Again, that's 17 people per planned unit. Think about the shame in that. <br /><br />This is nothing more than a money grab by the developer and the shelter operator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-16721973856328706762013-10-18T14:23:46.895-04:002013-10-18T14:23:46.895-04:00Hoity toity Chelsea has a homeless shelter ensconc...Hoity toity Chelsea has a homeless shelter ensconced in the midst of multi million dollar brownstones courtesy of the very socially progressive jesuits of the catholic church. i volunteer at the soup kitchen located in the same building so am familiar with the area. other than the sight of "shabby looking" individuals lined up each day, the presence of the shelter has done nothing to disrupt the cushy lives of its middle class residents.

I'm not the one posting under "anonymous" now am I. I have compassion but my concern for my family's safety outweighs my compassion in this case. To immediately call everyone against it a 1%er is foolish. <br /><br />Detalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448512578801209960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-81439371856368838362013-10-15T23:27:23.073-04:002013-10-15T23:27:23.073-04:00All the people opposed to the shelter should be as...All the people opposed to the shelter should be ashamed of themselves.
