That area is a dump!
ReplyDeleteSoon to be even more of a dump now that they are expanding the shelters around the corner for intake that used to happen at Bellevue. Maybe that is why they are moving. All these places on the block, and the residents, deal with the outcomes of the shelters but with such a huge amount coming in, and it was done via an emergency declaration by the city so they could bypass impact studies, regulations etc, it is going to be so much worse around here. The EV gets all these types of facilities all the time. Why not other neighborhoods?
ReplyDeleteI'll miss the hot & sour soup!
ReplyDeleteYes, unfortunately our new mayor is closing the large men's shelter on 30th Street and the homeless men there are being moved to the East 3rd Street shelter which is already at over capacity. So now we will have close to 200 new homeless men many of which are mentally unstable down in our LES/EV neighborhood.
