RECIPE FOR DISASTER

Re: "Helping addicts get clean in methadone clinics is tough at the 
best of times but harder still with NIMBY backlash," 
(Michael Platt, June 29).

Think about it. Drug addicts wandering around a family neighbourhood
with little kids and old people? That is a recipe for disaster. And
when something happens, people will wring their hands and say nobody
could have seen this coming. How about a better idea? Waive the
rezoning fee. Leave the clinic where it was, as that was a pretty good
location for everyone.
