I moved here recently from San Francisco, and I worked down the street from a Day Labor Center. Before it went up, there were three or four street corners that people looking for work would hang out on. These corners were crowded and hard to pass. After the Day Labor Center went up, there were no people on those corners, and always a line out the door at the Center, which was always clean, safe, professional and quiet. I fully support the one opening in my neighborhood here.
