Everyone agrees we need a treatment center but will argue about where it should be. Around here they continue new to build new homes, retail and stores but in the end what is going to happen IF we continue doing nothing? Who will want to come and live here? Who will want to bring their children here to live? All of those new retail stores will just be a target for the much bigger picture. The real fact of the matter is that addiction, heroin abuse, is an equal opportunity disease affecting all socioeconomic standards and knows no boundaries. This is not a problem of the welfare state or the poor or less fortunate. What do people think will happen if we continue with the same do nothing approach as has been taken in 16 plus years? What is going to be the consequence of NOT having this treatment center where it was proposed? And what will be the consequence of the same old do nothing approach? If you had a disease and were sick and could possibly die from the disease would you want a bunch of people against where you could go to be treated for your disease?
