Have a little compassion

I can’t understand how so many think that because individuals are down on their luck that we don’t have a responsibility to help them, it is of no fault of his own that the truck driver, who has no work due to the downturn of the economy, needs help to provide a place to live for his son and himself.

By allowing the building to be… Read more »

It’s interesting that after a place is not available everybody knows people that would have moved in.

mad about the rent
June 4, 2009 2:53 pm

what do u mean it’s our job to help the homeless??? it’s our job to help each other. the owner could have lowered the rent so young couples or young families could afford to move in!!! i know a few people who would move out there if it meant lower rent

A good deed

At least something extremely good and helpful is coming out of it. Helpping a family get off the street – even for one night can kick start a lifetime of good!
Be happy that the building isnt abandoned and derelict!!!!

A DISTRUCTION TO MOTIVATION FOR EDUCATION

who wants to work, when we have free health care, and penthouses.
I understand these people need help, so just give them the minimum(not fancy apartments), so they should feel the need and motivation to get a job, to live lives on a higher standard.

sad news

It will encorage some people not to work and depend on the goverment.

What do you want the building should be foreclosed upon and turned into a haven for drug addicts?
