They have treated me, and some others, in the most disrespectful<br />way. Nobody anywhere has behaved this way with me. I've also been robbed<br />right in the a-span shelter, and things have been stolen out of my car.<br />My back car window was also smashed while I was parked on s. Nelson St.,<br />where their 'AFAC' is located. (Oh, my car's transmission is now totalled-<br />just guessing how that happened.)<br /> Am sure they will 'dismiss' me again-and dream up some lie-which they will<br />also tell the police. They are outrageously self important, and feel superior<br />to others.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-27864868681728024002010-12-03T12:52:47.470-05:002010-12-03T12:52:47.470-05:00I know that ASPAN is an imperfect organization wit...I know that ASPAN is an imperfect organization with many poorly paid employees, but what do you want for $6/night/homeless person? It costs $160/night to keep that person in the Cty jail.<br /><br />I am a strong advocate for a year round shelter, but one with effective programs that deal with the underlying problems like the working poor not having a living wage job, addicts having no treatment, and the mentally ill with no treatment options.<br /><br />Probably a third or more of the homeless had jobs or have p/t jobs that do not pay enough for even a room in a shared house. With a job that pays $12/hour and 40 hrs/week, that person could probably get off the street and out of the shelter system.geraldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-65482337088390401702010-11-27T09:40:04.730-05:002010-11-27T09:40:04.730-05:00The list of Salvation Army bell ringers reads like...The list of Salvation Army bell ringers reads like a Who's Who of the Inside the Beltway Elite.<br /><br />Where are they the rest of the year when proposals (that go nowhere) are made for more affordable housing?22205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-48557751023855062272010-11-24T15:11:53.236-05:002010-11-24T15:11:53.236-05:00Fisette's next big project after the live thea...Fisette's next big project after the live theater party zone in Ballston is...his aquatic center.22201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-79920359302071756982010-11-24T15:09:27.699-05:002010-11-24T15:09:27.699-05:00ASPAN has a marketing director and a director of d...ASPAN has a marketing director and a director of development - so they see a bright future in keeping street people on the streets.Arlington County Sucks, Here's Whynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-75421414782239451842010-11-24T15:07:28.952-05:002010-11-24T15:07:28.952-05:00Buffy, once again you are correct.
