There are people sitting like this all over Chicago and the US. It is not just an Uptown phenom. I realize you'd rather they go somewhere else, but why don't you get a picture of a dude with his pants down in the bird sanctuary, that is something you don't see everywhere?
Well, there is just TOO MUCH of this in Uptown. It would be one thing if the entire Uptown Neighborhood was surrounded by large area of poverty, but the social services in the area are actually bringing these people in with their concentration of services. Believe me, most of these people are not FROM Uptown, but they still end up here in large numbers. Now I ask, why should one neighborhood shoulder such a large burden for the rest of the city and metro area?
uptownr, Elect JC, he'll get rid of the social services in the area. How many homeless are homeless in uptown? Believe me, if you see one person homeless around your house, it's too much for you to bear to see. Call JC. What you do is make other communities shun away from helping social services enter their blocks, and make those in Uptown that much more important. It might be a better tact to show how well property owners can live with social service agencies around them, and encourage it, rather than denigrate it.
He has been there for ever. I notice last year when I first moved to Uptown.
