[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support this facility's existence and its location. OP, you are a NIMBY. God forbid it doesn't come back to bite you in the form of a child with a dual diagnosis. [/quote] Why? Why support it by a school when it could be located elsewhere? Why support a 16+ bed for-profit facility on a tiny cul-de-sac squeezed between two little houses when it could be located elsewhere? They are abusing the zoning loophole to maximize their own profits. Literally nobody can justify this specific project at this scale in this location. Nobody. And I’m glad people across the county are signing the petition. Hopefully the county council will wake up and take action. [/quote] [b]Because that elementary school is a federal drug-free school zone[/b], which means the enforcement of sobriety requirements at this facility will be ferocious. And that means that this really not appreciably different than any other group of 16 people living in a house, which is not uncommon and none of your business. Everyone needs to live somewhere, and that includes people trying to recover from substance abuse and mental health issues. [/quote] Good news: MCPS has no intention in policing our ensuring that it's schools are in fact drug-free zones.[/quote]
