Help the Poor, Just Not In My Back Yard

Once again we get a true glimpse of what the liberal elites mean by compassion & caring for the poor. They are all for it, but only on our dime & just so long as it doesn't inconvenience them. Given what I see of the type of shopper that is currently attracted to these stores like that shown in the picture at bottom of article , I'll take the cliental Goodwill attracts any day.

& remember, these are the same gang that push for all kinds of alternative energy sources to be developed. Until the windmills are built where it might ruin their view. then watch them scream from their luxury electric hog homes.

HMMMM, I wonder if they would welcome an abortion clinic aimed at the poor????

Shortage of Goodwill in Berkeley

When it comes to the foreign terrorists detained at Club Gitmo, the moonbats of Berkeley spread their arms wide in sanctimonious welcome. But Goodwill stores that help Americans cause them to fold those scrawny arms across their sunken chests:
Solano Avenue merchants are trying to stop the nonprofit giant from opening a thrift store in the upscale commercial district, saying it would be a magnet for the homeless, noisy delivery trucks and bargain-hungry shoppers not likely to patronize the area's boutique baby stores and Persian rug shops.
Goodwill hasn't reached an agreement with the landlord yet, but…
That has not stopped some merchants from circulating anti-Goodwill petitions and asking the city to stop the project on the grounds that it would alter the character of the neighborhood. …
The city cannot act on the issue until Goodwill signs a lease and moves ahead with the permit process. If there are enough complaints, a public hearing on the permit could be scheduled.
Meanwhile, vacant storefronts have been growing more numerous along Solano Avenue. With a little help from bureauweenies, they should be able to keep one vacant rather than let used goods be sold to the lower classes.
