Tent City 3 may be coming to the border between Maple Leaf and Meadowbrook later this year — and that is spurring quite the debate, including dueling Web sites.
On the pro-Tent City 3 side is Maple Leaf Lutheran Church, at 10005 32nd Ave. N.E., which will vote next month on whether to host the tent city, which would house 100 homeless people for three months.
The church recently added a whole new section to its Web site, including background, news updates and frequently asked questions.
On the anti-Tent City 3 side is a well-organized neighborhood group called Meadowbrook Neighbors. Their next meeting is tonight (Thursday, Aug. 26) at 7 p.m. at a home at 3218 N.E. 100th St. (you are asked to bring a chair).
Both sites offer conflicting reports and studies about whether tent cities have increased crime in other areas they have come to.
What’s your opinion — should Maple Leaf Lutheran Church host Tent City 3? Our sister site, WedgwoodView, has several comments posted already.
