The Irvine Park neighborhood, south of West Seventh Street and downhill from the XCel Energy Center, votes reliably DFL.
And so they care a ton about the homeless.
Provided they are walled away from them.
The Dorothy Day Center – across 7th Street from the X – wants to expand. And that’s got Irvine Parkers up in arms:
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that residents of the nearby Irvine Park neighborhood want more say into the plans for the expanded shelter and service center.
Few will deny there’s a real need for the expansion. But neighbors say they already see homeless people spill over into the nearby park and onto their properties while waiting for the shelter to open each evening. They say the proposed design of the upgraded facility won’t do much to alleviate the situation.
Either will sixty more years of DFL rule, complete with using the inner city as a warehouse for the poor and de-institutionalized.
Who do we protest to about that?
Maybe Doggy can bring a few of them to her house! After all, she is so stuck on left wing ideology that she should be happy to do it!
“…complete with using the inner city as a warehouse for the poor and de-institutionalized.”
Well, they gotta go somewhere. And I don’t think North Oaks is on the menu.
Irvine Park: Home of Dave “Bucky” Thune and the puerile Eric Hare. Two who care…
Actually, this is an opportunity for Thune to stand tall. Get out there and say “No, I don’t want more drunks pissing on my lawn and dealing dope in the park across the street.”
P.O.D, are you warming up your snowmobile?
