We have way too many shelters and clinics, masquerading 'affordable housing' and 'social services' agencies, which combined with places like Lawrence House (firetrap) have turned Uptown into a toxic brew. I'm afraid to walk the dog after dark, and we don't dare let our daughter walk to the bus alone. Our merchants are struggling, Wilson Yards is a joke (donвЂ™t we already have enough nail salons, Subways and low end phone stores?) and Lakeview Station is an obscenity waiting to happen. Helen cursed us with the gangs and drugs masked as 'diversity.' We have the greatest concentration of social service agencies in the city. We have kids, we're both professionals and both of us have serious doubts about the qualifications of either one of these two. I'm gay & out, my partner and I own a home in Uptown (and not a lakefront high-rise or Pleasantville/Buena Park) and IвЂ™ve lived in Uptown for 8 years and in Lakeview since 1995. He knows that he serves at the grace of the mayor and looks to me like the gay version of any other machine doormat Tom Tunney, the Mayor's gay lap dog hasn't exactly stormed the gates of city hall with innovation or vision.

I'm not letting Molly off the hook, but before I break out the torches and pitchforks, I want to make sure I'm storming the right castleДЄnd let's keep in mind that just being gay doesnвЂ™t make you a better alderman. No pejorative mention of James' orientation or relationship status.

While I don't know that we'll ever get some people past their flat-earth opinions, what else besides her use of the term 'preference' alarms you? I read all the stuff in the campaign lit posted today, IвЂ™ve been to a вЂњforum,вЂќ I read UU along with the other blogs, and I didnвЂ™t see anything obvious. Unknown Maat 5:04 This is the second time you have stated that Molly is anti-gay.
