Name: Gary Smith on Nov 12, 2007Comments: Our neighborhoods will only worsen if we do not show compassion on those who are in need. GSA is a huge asset to the community by showing compassion and helping people get on their feet and becoming productive citizens. Those who are opposed to doing something for the needy will eventually find them selves in desparate need. Whatever a person sows, they will reap themselves. There is not even a shred of evidence that a community has or will be harmed by this kind of ministry.Flag

Name: Jim Donegan on Nov 13, 2007Comments: I welcome the GSA to our neighborhood. And I am ashamed and disgusted by the comments made by people like Kent Clizbe, Melanie Bancroft, Bill Alexander, and Fred Hufnagel. They are everything that a community should not be. They are the face of hatred and intolerance and paranoia and nastiness in our county. They bring us down. But inronically they are making people and support flock to the GSA. That is good. I think in the end they will mean nothing because people of goodness will outshine them. JDFlag

Name: Mr. Jones on Nov 20, 2007Comments: I agree with the resolution by Ms. Waters We all know that those who are going to use the GSA center are child molesters and murderers......Haven't you crazy peace loving, everyone deserves a chance hippies ever seen CSI or Law & Order....We could have basically expected Old Ashburn to become like L.A. if their plans would have worked with homeless people driving around shopping carts and living in boxes I mean Loudoun County and L.A. are already similar enough, we have a California Tortilla, don't we What does the GSA know about the needs of homeless people That is the question I ask......they act as if they have been doing this kind of thing for the last twenty years.......The nerve of these people...... Finally I have to applaud Ms. Waters again......for protecting our children and using our tax money to provide a county funded center in another part of the county where children don't exist.......... Ms. Waters, You got my vote next electionFlag

Name: The Look And Feel Of A Community on Nov 27, 2007Comments: Source: Loudoun Times-Mirror TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 2007 UPDATED TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 2007 In 2006, Loudoun ranked No. 1 as the nation's wealthiest county. Despite that, some people here find it difficult to believe that the homeless not only call Loudoun home, but also Ashburn. A homeless facility that would allow some of Loudouns homeless to feel a little more human -- giving them opportunities to shower, eat, wash laundry and use computers -- has had some Ashburn residents steadfastly shouting, Not in my backyard. These Ashburn residents do not want the homeless of Loudoun traipsing through their community because, in their view, that would facilitate an unsafe environment for their children and cause property values to drop -- also bringing what they believe is a "foreign problem" to their cozy neck of the woods. Some residents, if they didn't close their eyes to what is happening in the world, might realize that everyone isnt as fortunate as they are -- able to afford $500,000-plus homes and drive gas-guzzling SUVs. Yet, with the recent real estate market and loss of jobs at AOLs Ashburn campus, those living this lifestyle may not be immune to a financial crisis in the coming years. The status of more than just a handful of Loudoun residents has changed, and not for the better. Foreclosures are at a record high and more people than ever are seeking help. Thus, the face of Loudouns homeless could change from an unknown passerby to a neighborhood acquaintance or friend. The time is now to reach out and help those in need. While our children's safety is paramount, something also needs to be said for taking the blinders off on how we teach our children to perceive the world. It's time to let them learn a little about reality, so they can learn to help those in need. Since 1983, Good Shepherd Alliance and its staff of volunteers have given countless hours to help those less fortunate in this county. While doing so, they have tried to integrate surrounding community members to further the organization's mission. In the recent case in Ashburn, GSA might not have done the best job in reaching out to the surrounding community and broadcasting the drop-in service, but it is trying to appease its new neighbors by removing this hotly contested component from the project. GSA has asked the county to take over this much-needed homeless drop-in facility. But will some of the services be lost in the shift Will the already hard-working county staff be able to put in the dedicated man hours to do what GSA volunteers have done for years Or, will the homeless who come to the facility for help be lost in the bureaucratic shuffle of paperwork and government timetables Isnt it time to step back and take a look at what is really at stake here. Who are the people who are losing out because of this outcryFlag
