Open container laws unfairly impact people without homes. Next time you pick up a six pack or bottle of wine ponder where you would imbibe?
One of the barriers to housing becomes the open container ticket, your only option for getting out of the elements becomes a shelter but you are now banned because you were targeted for open container. So you sleep “rough”.
Do we really want more people sleeping out or in shelters?
Do we really want more barriers to housing?
Honest questions would you want to live with the same rules?
I do not support a low barrier shelter in a residential neighborhood no matter what conditions are specified. I have zero respect or trust in the leadership of Interfaith Sanctuary. I do not believe that they have the best interest of people experiencing homelessness in mind. All you have to do is look at the length of stay for their clients to know they are not assisting them in bettering their lives.
No to a shelter on State Street and No to Interfaith Sanctuary.
