...that is why the city is only required to hold meetings notifying the community that they are coming, as opposed to trying to get their permission and support.

Only a few members of the public believe their complaints will make a difference.
Unsurprisingly, supporters are rare.
However, the residents must be over 50 years old to get in.
...it is very tough to become younger than 50 once you are older than 50.
The saying "there are old ones, and there are bold ones. ...but there are few old, bold ones" usually holds true.
...but it won't be enough, and we live in the present.

Um, they are having the meeting because they are required to have the meeting.
They know very few people want a shelter in this location. ...people only want shelters in OTHER locations.

With all the above info, the residents of Crown heights are clearly not unsympathetic and not anti-homeless.
Can we take "kick me" sign off our backs now, DeBlasio?
