<description>&lt;p&gt;Brady westwater has repsonded and I have some issues with his response.

1. a lot of his commentary are things I have said on my blog already.

2. When he says that people whom he helped into services in skid row are back out on the street he is not specific nor does he name the social service providers.

3. He also accuses the Not for profis along main street for allowing drug dealing in the doorways of those hotels , yet he does not name which SRO hotels they are at.  I accused skid row housing trust and cited two of thier hotels in my posts, the ST Marks and the Crescent.

4. all in all I agree with the fact we need to clean up skid row , but when he makes accusations about certain service providers either allowing drug dealing in front of their hotels and social service providers not being able to keep the &quot;people he has helped&quot; off the streets. I think he needs to be more specific about who they are and what steps the social service providers need to take to keep this from happening.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
