Tom,
You said " In addition, there is emergency housing currently
available in multiple locations in
To my knowledge there's NO Emergency Housing of any type for single males in
As far as school children, no school that I'm aware of opens before 8 AM, and
since the furthest distance is a Mile to travel in Asbury, that's a 5 minute
trip! The buses that pick up school kids at my apartment come at 8 AM. By then,
where ever the People are going, they'll be there!
Bottom line is that you folks just consider the Homeless to be no more than
Animals, so you don't even want to find out the true facts, or God forbid, HELP
with the problem!
And just to divert to the Housing Problem, if there was more affordable
housing, it would pick up the standard of living here, especially the half
that's usually Owned by the Residents. It's a known fact that People who own
have more pride in their home, and take better care of it. Furthermore,
when Habitat for Humanity hit their 25th year, the Stats showed that the
Mortgages on those homes had a 95% solvency rate, compared to 77% on regular
Mortgages! Kind of tells you that a LOT of People appreciated getting a
"Hand Up", and were, and are, responsible Homeowners!
Gay marriage isn't Legal yet in NJ, although I'm rooting for it. So how can you
have a " legally-married-husband is a Hispanic immigrant? " If you were
married in
Cher didn't start the original Operation Helmet, a Family with a son in
But, whatever you say, if you're against a last ditch resort for a home in
So, you'll let me know where those multiple "Emergency Housing" Rooms
are for single men, right Tom? I'd like to know, because you seem to be the
only person who's mentioned them in the 10 years since I've been here! I
don't think even Tony Nuccio or Hazel Sammuels know of their existence!
Once again, to do Background checks is Illegal, since it's against the People's
rights. Dave can't change that if he wants.
I believe that it is also illegal to turn away Gays, due to Federal law, so
that's another smoke screen excuse for doing Dirty Work to discriminate against
People down on their luck!
It's just a Mute Fact at this point, because the Mission's opening in
September! They won their fight in Court!
Oh, and if you want to discuss what these People have lived through with a
Police Officer IN Asbury Park, who knows what has happened HERE over 40-50
years, go and talk with Lt. George Corbin. He's one of the best around!
And that area is zoned Industrial Commercial, NOT residential or small
business! It has been for many years!
Steve
