just read about nutter's plan of providing housing units for the homeless to be run by the pha.

wondering how this will impact us considering fairmount's relationship with pha. what do you guys think? is fairmount going to be targeted as a "homless" house area?

sort of admire nutter for trying to address the situation. but i've gotta say - i'd be absolutely furious if the homeless "halfway" houses were located in fairmount. total bs if nutter moves drug addicted, mentally unstable people into our hood on the dime of our tax base. fairmount has had troubles dealing with the pha residents for years...i can't imagine an influx of the homeless would help out the situation or have any true benifits for our area.

also wondering if gov subsidized housing is the way to address this daunting issue.

any thoughts, comments, or ideas?
