[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty hard to find addiction treatment that is not for-profit. I would infinitely prefer a treatment facility (which will be immediately booting residents who do not comply with treatment—they are aware of the fact that it’s a drug-free school zone, I assure you) to many other possible neighbors.

There but for the grace of someone go you, OP.[/quote]

My sibling died from addiction, so I get it.

And I don’t have anything against for-profit treatment.

I just don’t think a 16+ bed facility should share a chain link fence line with an elementary school playground—or be squeezed in between two average SFHs on tiny lots.

Why should the business interests of a for-profit company take precedence over residents—both the immediate neighbors as well as the families with kids in the school?

I support having such businesses in more appropriate locations.

Go drive by it and then let us know how you would feel having a 16 bed facility as your nextdoor neighbor—including the ugly oversized fence and commercial security gate at the entrance to the driveway abutting your front yard. [/quote]
