Allysen Hoberg: Why is no one asking that to the non-impacted neighborhoods where there currently is no affordable housing?
Pamela Taylor: It is being asked to non-impacted neighborhoods. They just have selective hearing and the backing of a city that appears to be turning a deaf ear as well.
AH: Why is PPL supposed to address supportive family housing issues as well as fix desegregation in Minneapolis?
PT: PPL has been asked because they are helping to cause some measures of desegration.
AH: I agree that poverty should NOT be concentrated in the core of the city, but what happens when every other neighborhood blocks you out as well?
PT: You do what Jim Graham, Barb Lickness and many others keep saying - Fight it with everything you can. Just because the non-impacted neighborhoods are currently blocking you out does not mean that they should continue to be left off the hook. Simply put, it should be forced upon them if they don't gracefully accept their share of the responsibility. Charity - and simple humanity - begins at home. That means "In their back yards", too.
Steve Cramer stated in his post that more needs to be said. Well Mr. Cramer, please do not keep us waiting any longer. Tell us the rest of the story, the whole truth and nothing but. My daughter and grandchildren live in Whittier and what affects them affects me.
