Dear Editor,
I'm sorry your [columnist] feels the way he does and it shows in his [column] sadly.
But for the people who live in that area and have to deal with the ongoing problems for the church being converted to a homeless shelter. I have now been finding needles on my property people on drugs passed out on my property. This is a house I rent to someone I care about and her 2 girls. Since It has opened they have had everything of value gone missing for there back yard her girls can not go out at night because of this my trailer that is in closed has had the side door hinge broke off just to see what was inside.
So yes NIMBY is a way of putting it I don't want the people that I care for to live in fear I don't want to find needles "in my back yard". The people that live in that area and own property in that area weren't even asked about the homeless shelter being open in the first place. So before people get bent out of shape about the vote sit back and look at the whole picture please that's all we ask.
Thank you
