It will be new to Crown Heights, will it not?
Got that, Einstein?
Oy vey. This is hard. Read carefully:
“…As reported Thursday by Daily News columnist Errol Louis, city homeless officials want to shift the intake center from its valuable 30th St. property to the Bedford-Atlantic Armory, which has a less tony rep….”
There is not a new facility, it’s an administrative move.
Yes, I know it has a large shelter. I also know that the shelter in question is inadequate to meet the need.
The new facility should definitely be located in Crown Heights.
What you think, 3:55 and your predecessor, is meaningless since, if you know anything at all about the neighborhood you would know that it already has a large shelter. It’s the intake center we are talking about which would bring Manhattans homeless into the area in addition to Brooklyn’s homeless. It’s an elitist sham.
I think Crown Heights would be the perfect location for this new facility. Someone earlier noted that Crown Heights would actually stand to benefit from it…true dat.
If you look on the home page of The Crown Heights North Association http://www.crownheightsnorth.com/ — (for those of you who have never stepped foot here) this is a beautiful community that will actually have a lot to lose. 2:49, I don’t see how those other locations (in your racist little eyes) are dumb suggestions. Perhaps because those other locations have a greater population of non-blacks. Take the white sheet off of your head and admit it.
I’ve (3:17) been to Crown Heights much as evident by my description of it. I live in Carroll Gardens. Why don’t you answer my question?
Give us a break 3:17. Either you have never been to Crown Heights or you live there and feel obliged to mount a propaganda campaign. We all know what CH is like.
3:16…don’t pay any attention to her…she was on yesterday with the same baiting comments…he/she needs to get a life….or at least find a new topic to make the same comments about one after the other…
