Fine, Fine.  CUPS is needed but get off the main Transit route of
an otherwise beatiful city.  Can you not set up help facilities 
away from tourists and potential investor eyes.  Like 1 block either
way.

Alderman I have approached and myself included cross the street instead
of walking by these people all milling around 7th Avenue. Scary for
women and children and an eyesore for the rest.

Support them only if they move!
