Whats this all about?

The rock church is trying to force the town to allow them to house homeless and even build a low-income housing on their property. They have been denied by the city as this is not zoned for homeless shelter or housing. Now there suing the city under religious freedom to try and overturn this. 
 
So what's the problem ? 

Becides the obvious church state separation violation there are few things to consider.

We bought our houses knowing this is a family neighborhood thats not zoned for infrastucture. When they held a town hall about building here virtually almost everyone at town hall meeting was very against this. Why you might ask?

 Well the"help" this church would provide is highly questionable.... The Rock Church has a history of biggotry and far right political extremeism. Hoasting anti gay and lgbt speakers and election deniers. I highly doubt they would donate to help get actual aid for these people in need if it didnt benefit them to expand. This is not a real solution to a serious problem. The homeless need real help thats not affiliated with discrimination and bigotry at the cost of neighboring homeowners properties value. Their religious freedom doesnt give them the right to go against zoning and make all our homes take a loss and sue the city for enforcing the laws we all follow. I cant park rvs and have homeles camps in my yard regardless how much i want to so why can they for a profit?  

Castle Rock can do better and we can make a properly zoned area in town that can help house these people free from the questionable activities of this church. We could find a better way to get them the actual resources they need i made this petition to bring attention to these issues and voice concerns many of us have here.

Sign the petition here if you want to find a real solution to help those who need it without hurting homeowners or the homeless in the proces.

 

If you feel like hearing about this church's questionable activities and views, here are some links.
I would like to think not everyone here is like this. Im sure some are good people just trying to help.

Side note: 

homelessness is not a choice. Drug addiction is a disease. These people need access to actual shelters and resourses that arent "faith healing" or have sketchy and questionable activities like this church. I want the homeless to have a real solution that doesnt hurt homeowners in the process. Please be helpful and contribute to helping find a solution that is good for everyone. I do not tolerate bigotry and extremeism and you shouldnt either. Surely, we can find better solutions than stuffing the homeless in this church with no public transportation in a town that has no infrastructure for homeless yet.

Maybe we could build something in town thats not affiliated with nonsense that can help, one thats accredited vetted to hadle this. Maybe we can get a dedicated ride system to the springs shelters or the denver shelters that they need for proper help if they are stuck here with nowhere to go as the church is still currently denied from housing them at this moment. Maybe Douglas County can build low-income zoning in one of the many open places that are here?
