Unfortunately, this article about Central Union Mission's future move, and possible obstacles to that move, is so confusingly written that I don't quite know all the details of what's going on.

However, I do know executive director Dave Treadwell, a longtime member of my church, and I know that he and the others at the mission are doing wonderful work. I hope the predictable "not in my backyard" attitudes that seem to be at work here won't get in the way of that.
