How about a tent?

How about a tent?

Would never get near one....
Maybe a nice new one

It looks like the whole of tent city are joining the forums. To properly welcome them I think they are entitled to a free seminar from Dan. You should also give out free refreshments and drinks.

One IP ban will take care of all of them.

Actually if the would join and do a proper 3BM they would have enough money to get a nicer tent - unless of course they don't want it because money is evil

Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.

I can't decide if this works better as a reference to the poor or to trolls.

You need decent credit to do that.

Is there a way to make a poll to see who agrees with who on this?

Not a good idea. 
Alex will post the poll all over his other blogs/fb etc in order to get all the tent city residents and tent city  advocates to come here and vote.

I have, actually. I've visited several times - listened to many stories, sang with them, laughed with them, hugged them. So far I have not seen drug addicts, drunks, or derelicts. I see people who are no less deserving of love and dignity than the people who condemn them. What's more, the people there - residents and volunteers alike - manage to gird and reinforce my faith in humanity. That same faith that the bitter, cowardly people on this forum attempt to erode.

when you say visited you mean before you moved in.

  Actually, I live in Freehold. In a house. For now, anyway...

[CountValentine]

This is the classic case where we want to help but not in our backyard.

Reminds of Ted Kennedy and wind power. It was great idea but not in his backyard (Hyannis Port).

Where is Mr. Alex? Didn't think he would stop so fast. Something about working 15 hrs a day online for the good of the ppl.

Lets get some facts here.

Mr. Alex, you say noone died:
#1- http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2013/09/homeless-man-found-dead.html
#2- http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2013/10/man-found-dead-in-tent-city.html

You say there are no hazards:

and you say there are no drugs!

http://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2013/10/tent-city-resident-charged-with-drug-distribution-packs-of-heroin-needles-found-in-tent.html

The bottom line is that everything you say is false. There are all these people that are living on township property that are a hazard to themselves and the surrounding community.

Please stop trying to convince us that you are saving us money. I hardly think all the services the town provides you without any of you paying taxes are saving lakewood a penny.
