What are you afraid of?
It is more than disappointing to read and see on TV news that some of our Austin citizens, mostly living west of Interstate 35 and north in Williamson County, have objected to a residence for people experiencing homelessness.
Shades of 1928 when “haves” decreed “have-nots” must remove themselves from neighborhoods they lived in for years and move east of what was then East Avenue.
What are you afraid of? Rubbing elbows with people you do occasional and sometimes outstanding charitable work for, as long as they are not living in your neighborhood? What harm can come to you to have a humane, sanitary residence for homeless people?
