Live blog: Ability Housing Springfield meeting

[sheclown]

Replace "disabled veterans" with "sex offenders".

Is the concept that these housing programs actually hurt neighborhood / commercial development still too difficult?

Anyways maybe this type of pro-diversity endorsement will continue to shape Springfield into the community you want.

"Jacksonville's highest concentration of offenders and predators lies north of downtown in ZIP code 32206"

Oh what the heck, why not just replace "disabled veterans" with "Klingons"

The art of exaggeration in it's finest form. Really, Stephen. Come on now.

"In October, the banking firm announced it is funding an innovative study that will get a complete picture of homelessness in Florida and inform strategies to help prevent it."

Who doesn't like a good study?

How about the City stop tearing down structurally sound homes in the name of blight?  Those homes could certainly be used to house the homeless.  Just sayin'....

It was only a matter of time.....  The Federal lawsuit has been filed.
