"Not in my backyard." That phrase is still here. In a nearby large city, plans were for a 14-bedroom home to become 12 temporary housing units to aid men transitioning to permanent homes. Tenants could live there for up to two years.The city's Plan and Zoning Commission approved the project with a 12-1 vote, but not before hearing from a crowd of residents who unanimously opposed the project. They mentioned the proximity of the property to an Elementary School and expressed concern for the safety of children who may pass by. Why do we assume providing housing will hurt children? What do we really care about?
