Welcome to the Dad club. Congrats

Do you need one soon? There are only some that take kids under a year and it’s really hard to get a slot

We bring our 9 month old to the Friends Child Care Center at 15th and Cherry - we too are in BV and it’s a haul

When our son was under 1 he went to The Giving Tree on Bainbridge at 5. It was ok

Busy Bees also takes sub 1 kids, they are in Washington Square. We are on a waitlist there though for our daughter

Options expand a lot as your kid ages

Good luck!

Look, i’m not saying the people who live in free and subsidized housing, have it easy. They don’t: society is built to exploit and make things harder for the poor.

I am saying that people who receive free-to-them parking that is paid for by everyone else, but exclusive to their use, should not also be illegally claiming parking spots otherwise available to everyone.

These are not irreconcilable positions

I think they pay sales tax. I think the EITC credit, when coupled with their likely low income (the reason they are eligible for the housing or housing subsidy) renders their federal and state tax liability to nothing

I think the value of free or subsidized housing in Bellavista far outweighs, whatever taxes they pay

So, in a fact, they are making out with more than they are putting in - all of which is fine except #they shouldn’t be saving the parking spots# on top of it

That’s the section 8 housing between Washington Christian 5th and 3rd.

What makes this particularly egregious is that, not only do they get housing for free (which is fine!), but they got a free parking spot behind the housing (less fine). Here this person is saving additional spots so others in the neighborhood whose taxes pay for their housing/parking cannot use them.
