I can't fathom how the recovery centre would cause much of a problem. But as was mentioned, it's perception.

I live in the area. There was a petition that was circulated to have the project stopped. It was a lot of fear-mongering and myths about what will happen if the project goes ahead- "crime will go up in the area because addicts will be breaking in to cars and homes looking to pay for their next fix."
They picked the wrong guy to say that to as I am very well versed in addictions and treatment. I blasted her six ways from Sunday. I would also like to say that I live in the area and I am all for the centre. I have no reservations whatsoever about it being turned into a treatment facility. It's badly needed.
