Ol' Man, in light of a resident's assessment of the issue here, I don't see how your arguement holds water at all. Downtown redevelopment is an important issue in many cities, especially in the South. Re-invigorating urban areas creates new jobs and new opportunities, especially for those homeless who are able to work. For those unable to work, it can increase their quality of life as well by providing them with safer environs than a shelter or neglected urban streets. There are the obvious displacement issues, but I don't see how Christianity or GW Bush factor into a local traffic issue. Perhaps you should pick a better cause to champion than this particular one.
