When Liberals Collide

From The Virginian-Pilot:
The people working to build the area’s first permanent housing for the homeless are proud that their project would turn a run-down warehouse at the edge of Park Place into a residential complex – a place to call home.
What liberal could be against permanent housing for the homeless? That's good, right? Wrong! The historians think it's going to be too, well . . . "homey:"
But state historians bristle because the design looks too “residential and suburban.” They say it must retain its warehouse look because parts of the building are historically significant and date back to 1928.
Gotta preserve those roaring 20s wharehouses, don't ya know. Let the homeless stay on the streets a few more months while the taxpayers foot the bill to redesign the project and satisfy the State Historians.
