Have You Noticed Any Changes since the opening of the homeless shelters?
Considering all of the anger and outcry from area residents about the Bergen House homeless shelter for single, elderly men, and the Rogers Ave Family shelter, I am just curious if anyone notices any significant changes to quality of life since opening. Currently, my main beef is with the Rogers Family shelter, because the building operator has not landscaped, the exposed dirt surrounding the building is gross, and the paper blinds look shitty. I live a few blocks south of Bergen House, but have not noticed any significant upticks in men on the streets or anything of that nature.

Nope.
What kinds of changes were being anticipated?

I also hope if one were to ignore them, they'd go away.
