NIMBYism in its purest form.
Navigation Centers are far more than homeless shelters. They take people in as they are (pets, belongings, partners, etc.) and provide on-site services. Unlike traditional shelters, occupants are not forced back on the streets in the morning just to wait in line for a bed that night.
I have one in my neighborhood. I took a tour with a few other neighbors last year. I can’t imagine how you can argue that it would be better for the people I saw to be living outside on the streets.
Every district in San Francisco should have at least one Navigation Center.
- mnm1 8y agoBut if these places take homeless people in, what will the rich assholes donating to this kickstarter complain about? /s This is literally a big part of the solution to homelessness but these people would rather complain and fight it in court than see anyone helped. Then they complain that homeless people are in the street when actions like this keep them there. Unbelievable how cruel some people are.
- dagw 8y agoOh I'm sure everybody agrees that they're fantastic and the there definitely should be more of them. Just, not right here. Over there would be a much better place for one.
