While I don't agree with segregation of the homeless, I agree with the spirit of what; the City; is trying to accomplish.

An identical situation happened in Jacksonville during it's Superbowl it held a few years back. One defunct closed school was opened to 'serve' the local homeless, removed from the direct area of festivities and celebration areas downtown.

It gives local advocates the chance to be able to points that can be reused in the future, that weren't in the past. It gives local residents more mediafed knowledge of the problems in their community. I hate to say as well that it gives more available to the homeless at the time...that otherwise they wouldn't have.

In the days, weeks, and months after...it's up to the city to choose to continue to use the asset areas regularly.
One man's security excuse is another man's tool in tomorrow's argument.

Just my take. Cool board!
