I was thinking the other day about when BS decided that the nuisance Bethesda House was bad for downtown, so he wanted to spend a lotof our money and displace a taxpaying minority owned business up on State Street? Remember there were objections from people who thought the presence of that Poverty Palace would be bad for the Vale neighborhood, an "at-risk" neighborhood full of children? BS didn't care, because he is certainly smarter than anybody linked in any way to THAT neighborhood, right? So in went the Palace, and vulnerable homeless died in vacant buildings anyway.
Mynderse Street is in the Vale neighborhood. Mynderse Street is where a woman said to be "under a lot of pressure" beat her own grandchild to death. Could it be possible that the people who thought that Bethesda House would be a poor fit for an already fragile neighborhood were right?

it's one of the at leasts that society allows....that's why ANYTHING purported to be care taking by the government is
VERY POOR in and of itself....

Bethesda House...very nice idea...and a very nice idea NOT to involve the government or it becomes another podium puck...

the safety nets should NEVER come from the government....or they become podium pucks....

every time the government 'takes something of value' and says "let's get together for the sake of poor grandma/kids/mom/poor
society etc" the goodness loses it's soul....

government is punitive and should remain on the OUTSIDE.....along with the gumba fiat controllers

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
H. L. Mencken


Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
