Sometimes These Things Can Be Easy

CENTRAL DISTRICT A group of Central District community groups has voted to draft a letter of support for Casa Latina’s proposed move to 17th Ave. S. and S. Jackson St. The nonprofit would bring with it a day worker center—the impending arrival of which spooked neighbors in the Rainier Valley so much that they rolled up their welcome mat. Ted Divina of the Central Destrict Neighborhood Service Center says a few home owners and renters near the proposed location have concerns about litter and loitering. But, he said, Casa Latina is working with police to develop ways of improving safety. Divina says the same people have concerns about the nearby Operation Night Watch, which provides meals and other services for the homeless.

Expect lots of other changes on Jackson St. in the near future. The Central Area Development Association has plans for 60-unit mixed-use apartment complex also at the intersection of S. 17th Ave. and plans are underway to build a 250-unit structure at the former Wonder Bread site a block away.

Even with whitey taking over the CD, washington middle school will still be ghetto with a 250 person section 8 building across the street.

Casa needs to give it up and stick their day labor center somewhere south of Pioneer Square. What kind of "community groups" want a day labor center in their neighborhoods? All Casa will do is push the drunks and disorderlies a block or so off, so they can claim it's not their clientele pissing, harrassing middle school girls, etc. It's idiotic to want a day labor center in your neighborhood, as anybody who ever lived near the good old Millionaire Club could tell you, unless they're ideology drunks. The neighbors, I mean, not the laborers.
