I hope the Bellevue City Council refrains from a homeless shelter in Eastgate - so near our impressionable young college students who work so hard to go to college.  What message are we sending when the homeless - the ones who voluntarily use drugs and alcohol and prostitution and theft to get what they want - are treated with clean housing and counseling and food and safe injection sites - while college students slave away at jobs and studying and bills.  Who are we supportng here anyway?

And, Factoria seems to be high on this list also.  Newcastle is adjacent and we do not even have a community newspaper to inform us of what the Bellevue Council is up to, but it affects us directly as well as Newport High School.

As law abiding productive citizens, we do not owe the homeless betterservices than our own children!  What are yu thinking?  Put the homeless to work picking up litter on the highway and house them far away in east King County in remote areas away from productive citizens.
