So, Mario,

Since  your  reply only attacked, yet had absolutely NO substance to it, does that mean you are in FAVOR of Attacking the Homeless by trying to prevent the ONLY real Shelter ever in Monmouth 
 County from Opening, or Staying Open?  This Shelter is geared towards single Men, most of whom are not allowed in the other "Shelters" in the County, what few there are!

Let me ask some questions, OK?  You are a "Leftie", yet you support a Group that wants People to live, and eventually DIE on the Streets?  HOW is that a "Left" or Democratic Stance?

Do you LIVE in Asbury Park?  For how Long?  How affluent are You?  Do you stand to Profit from the current course of the Redevelopment?  Are you for Rent Control, if so, WHAT have you done to GET it (Councilman Keady has been pushing for it, with Virtually NO Public Support). If you are against Rent Control, then you have NO right even Claiming to be "Left"!  Are you aware that since 2001, approximately 2,500 People (Minimum) have been either forced OUT of Asbury Park, or forced into Overcrowded Housing, due to a Combination of the Redevelopment, no Rent Control and NO Jobs being Created for them, as well as NO Affordable Housing being built for them?

Go to PolicyLink.org and read everything on Rent Control, then you may realize that it actually significantly firms UP the Economies of the Cities which have it over a 20-30 year Periodic, including guaranteeing a Stable and Regular Low Income Work Force FOR the Business Community. Do you know that? It's embedded in our 35 Year US History already!

Now, let's get it straight, OK?  You're FOR Stand Up For Asbury's stance to take away the LAST Alternative to living on the Street for at LEAST 75 (Homeless) Residents of Asbury Park? And you're a "Leftie"?  I beg to differ, but you at least SEEM to be a Plant for the Redevelopers!

And you said   "As a "card-carrying member" of the ACLU, the Democratic Party, MoveOn.org, etc., I want to take issue with remarks made by "AsburySteve" in recent posts".

I beg your Pardon, Mario, but ANYONE can carry Cards in their Wallet to make believe they're something, but what have you DONE to help ANY Liberal Democratic Cause in the past 10-20 Years?  By the way, MoveOn.org, NPR Radio and Air America are just as "Radical" Left, or MORE than I am, and have made just as Liberal/Radical analogies as I ever have on here, yet DO You attack them?  If SO, you don't even RESEMBLE any "Liberal" Thinking at ALL!

Finally, since I question your capability after your attack, just answer me one question:

What is your Official PUBLIC Stance on:

  1. Rent Control
  2. Low Income Affordable Housing
  3. Creating Living Wage Jobs and Increasing the Minimum Wage
Implementing the above three Issues/ Programs/ Laws in Asbury Park would eliminate 97% of our Problems here, INCUDING the High Crime Rate, Homelessness and Poor Education (Over @ a ten year period)!

If you are against those Items, you're as "Right" as they come!

One last thing .... Try to DO something "Left", rather than to just TALK! I'll be glad to tell you what I've done over the past 10-25 Years!

Have a great day,

Steve
