I think that the argument for where to put homeless shelters is about 50/50 because, some people don't mind where the homeless shelters go and the other doesn't want to be living anywhere near homeless shelters because they are worried about their families and peers and their own safety. But personally I think that most homeless people don't put any danger to the people around them they are just trying to make their life right again.

I feel that the perspectives of the different people were valid, but some lacked empathy. I feel as though the people that are basically telling homeless people to go find somewhere else to live value their property and where they live, and they don't see homeless people as part of that. They see them as drug addicts who chose to live on the streets and while, for some, that may very well be true, it is definitely not the case for all. If they saw them as real people that deserve to be respected, cared for, and forgiven for past mistakes, I believe that their perspectives would change and the homeless problem could at least be seen in a more caring way instead of harshness and hate. I can see that, just as the people of Franklinburg, these people do not want anything to do with homeless people. They don't want to be associated with the homeless, which means they want the problem to be fixed but they don't want to fix the problem. They don't want to see homelessness on the streets but they won't let them in their neighborhood. -Kayla Dillaha

2.This is a lot like our project because there is a homeless problem and in the areas that they would be put in the neighbors don't want the homeless around messing up their business or scaring their children.

1. People don't want homeless shelters in their neibhorhood because it'll increase the amount of homeless people in the area, one homeless person said that it was a waste of taxpayers money and that people need their privacy not a little room to store their things

Residents don't want a homeless shelter put in their neighborhood because they think that the rate of homeless people will increase and that their stuff will liter the streets. I can understand why people are nervous and don't like the idea, however, this is a very organized plan. There will always be someone on site to help keep things under control. I think that the homeless people should be thankful for a spot even if it is a shared building and not a private tiny house and I think that the people in the towns should calm down and let this building be built. Some similarities that I noticed are the people not wanting the shelter to be put in a certain spot because they are worried about cleanliness, money, or safety. They also worried about making sure there was enough housing for everybody.               -Hailee McClelland

All the people's perspectives are different to each other and most prefer different places to others. They're both about homelessness and require thought about different potential sites for shelters. - Bill

they're both trying to fix the homelessness problem but the public somewhat like the idea other then there gonna be more homeless people around the homeless shelters

I believe most people are pretty open minded when it comes to helping the homeless, other than there still is a very big group with a lot of hatred towards them. Most people just don't want the homeless shelter to be made right in town, and they would have no problem. Except, for the homeless to have a way to get to the shelter, or services they need, they need to be close to town. I think that this is very similar to the project in class because the site options and the peoples opinions were basically just alike with the activity we did in class the past week.

There both about homelessness and the government-Tony

la is a big city they both want to help with the problem they want to solve in 2 different

Homelessness is getting out of hand that people wont do extra things to help out a working family with a baby that doesnt deserve to live a homeless life style. if they start now and slowly grow the homeless population will drastically decrease around LA.

I understand why people wouldn't like it because of the trash in the roads and everything, but some people realize that the homeless ar people too and they just need some help getting back on their feet and they agree with it. its similar to the classroom project because its about homelessness - Julia

This relates to the class topic in a way where the people in the project have concerns about these homes and so do people in real life

I personaly think that the sooner the housing is built the sooner people won't have to worry about the homeless creating a mess near their homes and businesses. Once everything has been built than there will be a clean, safe, and private place for all of the homeless to go, also their animals are allowed which was an amazing idea because there is a need for homeless people and their pets to live.

I understand all of their perspectives, I understand why it would be frustrating but I just think its necessary. There should definitely be rules put in place to help protect the local people such as, if you have drugs or alcohol you can no longer live there etc.

1. I thin k that these situations are starting to get ridiculous. I mean, come on. just let this person and their 18 month old child have home till they can get back on their feet.               2. this relates to in class topics because homelessness is also a problem in the class.                                                     -Mike

I think that instead of making shelters in cities, we should make a city for all the homeless people to live in. it would boost tax levels for a bit, but then it would be a federal thing and it would save a lot of money in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
People didn't want to have shelters being put into their neighborhoods because the homeless rate could increase and it would make their neighborhood look bad with all the trash on the ground with their stuff they have kept with them such as sleeping stuff, shoes, and clothes. Garcetti said, "The shelters are designed to accommodate the number of residents living in a given area, and that was reasonable to assume that those who continue to camp on the sidewalks after the shelters open have recently moved to the area or turned down spots in the shelter." And what they said is a good point then the next paragraph talks about how the shelter would have at least 45 beds, so hopefully that all of the homeless people on the streets could realize they actually have somewhere to stay. -Madison

Homelessness is a seriously problem in LA, its probably the biggest city for it in the united states.  Both of these people in the interview want to solve the homeless problem but in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone was desperate, both about society

# data[].attributes.body
they dont think that the project is going to work and they think it will be a waste of money and just wont help anyone but other people just want to solve the problem because its something other people shouldn't have to suffer through

# data[].attributes.body
In both sittuations they are trying to solve the homless problem and people have various opions about the sittuation. -lauren

# data[].attributes.body
Some people dont want the shelters being built in thier neighborhoods cause they think that the homeless rate will incress. One person they interviwed said that it is a waste of taxpayer money and that they should use "tiny houses" beacuse it has more "privacy" and its not a big bulding. But there are some people who dont really care where the shelter goes cause maybe they think this is a problem and they dont want to see other people suffering. -lauren

2. they both are about public government. -nate

1. I feel like most people are understanding and they think its unique, but the public doesn't want them to. -nate

After listening to the short article about the homelessness problem and solution idea in LA, respond to the following:

1. How do you feel about the perspectives of the different people interviewed? (Feel free to use images to show rather than tell your emotion)
2. What similarities can you identify between this situation and our classroom project?
