This is why we need the supportive housing at Agassiz Rd (and other supportive housing projects) to go through so all these people are put in a path to recovery and reintegration.

Also seniors are just old citizens. Why are they more special than say, residents of Rutland or anywhere else?

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result...

The dry facility does not work in all situations that is why it is insane to keep trotting it out as the be-all and end all of solutions. People change when they want to. Accept it.

Alrighty then - thanks for confirming what’s been suspected for some time - your comments are nothing more than attempts at trolling members trying to have rational, sensible discussions. I’ll no longer consider your comments having any value.

How many months or years have IFTC / JHS / BC HOUSING & COK had to put a group together but still need more time ?

It's a very expensive gong show we are watching.

just ask any recovered addict...being sober and staying sober for an addict is hard enough...living/being around any temptation for a relapse makes zero sense..
