Looks like a NIMBY who doesn’t understand the efficacy of social welfare programs came through and downvoted everyone, so I gave everyones solid contributions an updoot.
This is a great idea, and the fact that we even have space for it (unlike LA) is a sign that it needs to pass before the opportunity is too late. These naysayers don’t realize that this development will become something much less useful. And, instead of assisting our homeless with becoming healthy functioning members of society, they will remain on the street perpetuating whatever archaic ideas these people have of them.
It took like 1/3rd of my morning coffee to realize this is a good idea, come on nimbys, get your shitty Keurigs repaired or something and wake the fuck up

Could be summarized as classist or possibly racist. What they are saying is not fact-based. It's most likely based on preconceived notions, i.e., classism or racism.

So, call up your local civic leaders to move this establishment to your neighborhood.
If it’s a great idea, which it is, put your money where your mouth is.
An idea can be “good” and “concerning” at the same time.
So many people complaining about the “nimby” perspective, not one is calling their local leaders to take this “opportunity to help those in need” to their neighborhood.
