I hope that these people recover well. One wonders if councilman Bill Rosendahl's "Roadway to Housing", is also a roadway to crime? Seems crime is on the rise. But some folks it seems are good at conning "Uncle Bill". And "Uncle Bill" needs to look good at any cost! It also seems that his grand gestures would be better served in retirement where these hairbrained ideas would be less dangerous.

I agree with all of the comments well made by Eddie Greenberg.
The Official U.S HUD Crossfire is 100% proof positive that Eddie comments are right on the mark concerning that Bill Rosendahl's Roadway to Housing is a roadway to crime .
