Reply to comment by biddily in Proposed permanent housing building for those experiencing homelessness raises concerns with some Dorchester residents by ak47workaccnt

I did forget the charter school, all tucked up there on its own, my mistake!! You make some valid points! Soooo many kids in that area it definitely becomes a shit show in the afternoons, not to mention the morning. I wasn't even considering Boston bowl but that would be a problem especially on weekend nights with potential robberies and fights. Tenean isn't too bad I don't think. They've cleaned it up a bit over the years but this would ruin any progress already made there which would be unfortunate. I grew up on the hill behind St Ann's (Arbroth St) and given how expensive the homes are these days I sadly will probably never be able to own my own around there. Actually, maybe this will drive down the price of homes??!!! I still vote no....

Im on the corner of Popes Hill and Neponset. Right smack dab in the middle of the shit show.

Tenean is better than it had been, but its still got issues, and it could backslide so easily. And being right around the corner from the comfort, its an ideal place for people staying there to go to get away if they wanted to do something away from oversight. There or the path behind the murphy.

Yup (I used to hang on that path back in the day) and I forgot to even mention victory road park! It's crazy for them to want to put a program like this here! I know it's hard to find reasonable places for housing but this is just such a true neighborhood and community there's no reason to even rub such a risk. There are much, much more appropriate places for then to do it.
