Gun violence does happen in Hudson more than any other community in the county. There are more crimes. <br />Urban social ills happen when you high high concentrations of the poor. <br /><br /><br />You decide if it is bad, or good. I think the generations to come are trapped without access to the mainstream. <br /><br />j kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669649380477390089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-70081044540710227772022-05-29T13:41:46.784-04:002022-05-29T13:41:46.784-04:00Part of the issue is the fact that Hudson is the c...Part of the issue is the fact that Hudson is the county seat, thus we have a concentration of social service agencies in town. So people who need those services tend to be concentrated here.peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516536444700341403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-35739631099795847332022-05-29T11:26:45.582-04:002022-05-29T11:26:45.582-04:00Jkay makes an excellent point: does Mr. Lawlor eve...Jkay makes an excellent point: does Mr. Lawlor even live in Hudson? Columbia County? Of course not. Nor do most of those pushing these absurd and destructive plans. They are all part of the same poverty industry. I’m willing to bet Mr. Lawlor lives in a McMansion in a gated community in Saratoga county or an equally distant idyl where the “poor” are an abstraction. John K.
