[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This remains an issue.

And if this can happen in my neighborhood, then it can happen in your neighborhood.

Please email the County Exec and the county council (especially Luedtke) and tell them they must fix this. [/quote]

I have a group home for young adults with autism in my neighborhood.  Every bad worry you have about addicts could be extended to highly-impacted, low-functioning individuals on the spectrum.

Yet they walk around in our neighborhood all the time, and love to pet my dog.  It's totally fine. Try to see people as humans. [/quote]

Oy vey.

Nobody is kvetching about a small group home for a few people with autism. Or even a few formerly homeless people.

We are talking about a massive for-profit facility for upwards of 16+ patients needing a level 3.5 system of care (out of 4). It’s for people with severe impulse control issues and mental health issues. The addiction piece is likely just (the lesser) comorbidity.

We need such facilities, but they should not be plopped into a SFH adjacent to an elementary school.

Duh. [/quote]
