Which is the precise definition of Not In My Back Yard...
- flachsechs 9y agoyeah, and good luck convincing anyone, anywhere that building a methadone clinic in their back yard is a good idea. here's another turn of phrase you might find handy: choose your battles.
- jupp0r 9y agoI know some people complaining about the noise from child care in their neighborhood.
- grkvlt 9y agowhy should it be a problem? in the UK, methadone is normally dispensed from a regular pharmacy, just like any other prescription you might get from your doctor. I wonder if what you are seeing is that the clinic has been placed in a neighbourhood that already had high crime/homelessness/etc. since that is where the addicts who need its services are? it just seems odd that a clinic would be placed in an affluent area, where property costs are probably high, and the service users have to travel to get there, but maybe it's an american thing?
