Hopeless Endeavor?

“It would be a difficult set-up,” Ramp conceded, “and people would be walking all over town — talk about having it in your neighborhood.”

According to Arcata Community Development Director Larry Oetker, the churches are already permitted for such services, as long as numbers are not too high, so there would be no stopping it. The alternative, finding yet another acceptable site, would likely face more NIMBY fears.

Is there any place to locate the Endeavor where the neighbors would not complain? Before Shelter departed from St. Louis Road, he answered the question with a smile and another question: “You got a piece of property on the moon?”
