[RP TownTalk] homeless population & Cafritz propert

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

My partner and I, being in the real estate business are always aware and 
concerned for the homeless.  Some people are homeless due to horrible 
circumstances in their lives and others are homeless because they choose to be.  I don't 
know who lives on the Cafritz property but it may people who don't want to live 
in a shelter or have jobs or help etc.  We had one homeless woman who refused 
to live in any shelters or group homes simply because she didn't want to 
follow the rules.  We would find her a great place to live and she would leave 
after a short time.  So, it depends on the people and what they want.  There is 
also an area near the cafritz prooperty but may belong to the metro/csx 
people,.  at the end of Tuckerman going west over the railroad and then across the 
parking lot of the industrial area there, there is some woods where people/kids 
hang out.  I expect that the damage /graffiti on the old Arco building comes 
from this source.
I don't think it should be the property owners responsiblity to assume 
ownership of these people.  As a community I think we should help the homeless by 
pointing them in the right direction to access the many social services 
available to them.  Just remember some people do not want our help.
