The citys proposal that turned the Salvation Army on valencia street into a Homeless Center is not going well for this Business Owner who works directly across the street he benefit the neighborhood because the type of people that we i mean to come in and out of the place and now home you have you seen neighborhood in front in people the calm to the area would be afraid to come others who live in the neighborhood are for the project i think as long as theyre going to.
