1. AP has enough social services.
2. The shelter will not screen.
3. The shelter discriminates against gays (they will let them in but
will treat them as sexual addicts).
4. Difficult to police religious organizations post religious
freedom act, etc.
5. # 4 is even worse for a fundamental christian group.
6. No matter what you say the result is still the same, it will
bring more undesirables into AP, and yes, I consider many who hang
around such facilities are undesirable. If that makes me a bad
person or unchristian, so be it. I'm all for helping someone get on
their feet, but there the habitual homeless that do not want a home.
They belong in a mental hospital or somewhere else. If they want to
live in a box (and some actually do) don't do it on my front yard.
There, I've said it.
7. And while you didn't ask, I'll add this while I am on a roll.
There is plenty of affordable housing in AP. Nearly 80% are renters.
I would make code enforcement so tough in this town that there would
be a gum wrapper on the street. Many places look like crap. Either
the landlord doesn't give a rat's ass or they get tired of fixing
them up and tenants wrecking them. Probably a mixture of both.
Solution - throw the trouble makers out and/or seize properties -
not eminent domain - police power - public nusiance - NO
COMPENSATION.
Anyone who doesn;t want to play nice can just get out of town.
Increase affordable home OWNERSHIP, not subsidized housing. Rent
control = death.
