It’s been a subject of enough controversy in Ballard that it’s been delayed a few months – but today it’s finally official, according to our fellow community-news-site operators at MyBallard.com: The SHARE homeless shelter that’s been at West Seattle Church of the Nazarene for more than a year WILL move to Ballard as originally proposed; the move will happen May 30. The move wasn’t certain till the results of a Ballard church vote were announced today. Here’s the full story from MyBallard.com.

Can you keep it? We have enough bums over here and apparently they were not too gracious as guests in you hood:

-I had one man threaten to kill me with his Mac10 after swinging a back pack full of glass beer bottles at my neighbors head.

-I had one man completely strip down changing his clothes, he refused to leave my yard. He even urinated in my front yard twice before SPD arrived.

-I had a spanish speaking homeless man from the shelter use my yard for a toilet with the neighbors watching. It’s no fun to pick up human poop much less dog poop from your yard, especially if you don’t have a dog.

-Homeless were caught breaking into his camper and sleeping in it as it was parked in his driveway.

-Every time the shelter has opened over the years the neighborhood has witnessed an increase of unreported broken windows in vehicles, car prowls, car thefts, drug dealers on the corners, and numerous nasty prostitutes are working the bus stops.

-The church has had considerable destruction at the hands of the homeless. Doors have been replaced from being kicked in by the homeless.

– I ran off a nasty prostitute who was in the church parking lot offering blow jobs for $20.00 to my neighbors as well as the homeless at 6:00 AM as they were going to work.

-We have gone to the expense of installing a surveillance and alarm system to our property due to the numerous attempted break ins.
