Keep something like that downtown. Within a block of the police station makes sense

This will make my neighbourhood unsafe for my child ten to play. No thank you. Find another location away from families that are trying to raise citizens that will NOT need that kind of service.

Let's put this in Councillor Stephen Turner's backyard. This "medical" facility should be located - as should the safe injection sites - at our hospital campus.

These types of programs should be kept away from family homes.

This is ridiculous you want to put this type of housing in a residential neighbourhood with children. Completely unacceptable

I've lived on the next street over for 18 years, it was bad enough picking up McDonalds garbage etc. left by the teens migrating and hanging out behind this property. Worst location in the city for this due to the open access points to the apartment building lot behind, and then the church parking lot bordered on an easement that is filled with trees. Police had a hard time catching on foot thieves that robbed the TD because they could escape through this back access point to to High and Chester Street. Dog feces is a big enough problems, Who is going to pick up the human feces and urine? This is a health problem. Parkwood hospital has lots of unused land where a place like this could be monitored better.

Good idea bad location. Should be on the outskirts of town in a secluded country house

I absolutely agree that 345 Sylvan St is a inappropriate location for a stabilization space for London's homeless addicts. As my property backs onto this location,I will be directly impacted by this. I have raised a young family in this area and now have my young grandchildren on a regular basis and expect to be able play freely in my backyard, I have owned property in this area since 1982 and now have other family members that have purchased in this area because it was a safe ,friendly family oriented neighbourhood. Please don't move forward with this proposal,there are so many other options that would better serve the community

I am strongly against such a plan. I have been living in the Old South for ten years. This is a very desirable residential area. Why would anybody set up a place here for those drug users? Why not an isolated place for them? Would any of the decision makers want a place like this near their own home?

Families, like drug abusers, should have the right to live in a safe environment. Keep facilities such as these away from residential neighbourhoods. Put them in institutional or commercial areas of the city. Or vote to put it next to your own fancy houses, city council....

Not appropriate for a family residential neighbourhood.

I am completely against the purposed usage for this property. Putting the problem in a highly populated peaceful residential area is NOT resolution.
