Stefan Sharkansky relates a typical Liberal, touchy-feely proposal for Seattle's alcoholic homeless and the SF Bay Area's uber-Liberal enclave of Orinda is in an uproar over a proposed homeless shelter in their quiet upscale community.
Shelter group bows out Orinda slams the door on proposed homeless facility
[Long a Democratic Party stronghold, news junkies will recall the breathless media coverage of Orinda's Glitterati studded fundraising parties for Clintons re-election. ]
According to the 2000 census, Orinda has a population of 17,371, the median household income was $117,637, and a median home price of $871,000. Average age is 41.6 years, 71% married, 41% with children, 60% attended and/or graduated from college, 28.5% earned grad degrees, 60% hold managerial or professional positions, and 91% own their homes, average commute time is 28 minutes.
Perhaps Orindans could pass the hat and purchase one-way tickets to Seattle for the East Bay's homeless families.
