Y'all want more homeless shelters in the suburbs?

I live in fairfax cty. Our county has a program to allow developers density bonues in exchange for affordable units, and it has a program to build affordable units on county land near FFX govt center for county employees and others.

These programs are getting attacked by the Fairfax County GOP, who are convinced Sharon Bulova and other dems on the council are socialists. Some of us in FFX cty and elsewher WANT to do the right thing, but the politics out here is insane. Why dont some of y'all support the progressive pols in the suburbs with your $$ and/or time? It would make more difference than hectoring your local DC pols.

If we cant even defend such basic moderate programs as I have mentioned above, how are we going to get the suburbs to take in their share of the truely poor?
