The Methadone Mile (legally, market, dog)

It's a slap in the face to many people to be asked to help out migrants in addition to what they already pay to be here themselves. We saw what happened when they went to MV, a place that has quite a few vacant homes. They were shipped right out of there. People will talk the talk but no one wants to spend their own money on these beggars.

First of all. you are responding to a thread about methadone mile. not migrants. these are not the same people. Secondly if you care to even digest any bit of information before bashing your keyboard you would see that this is a mental health and substance abuse problem. Of people who are born in this country. So in one day we can hear all your gripes about children getting free lunch, people with mental health and substance abuse problems getting help they need, and people escaping unbearable human rights tragedies.
We get it. Just try and keep your rantings on one on topic thread instead of cross contaminating each one on here with your tiny minded views.

Yeah, probably a lot of the kids who were shamed out a proper meal in school will too. How bad does that ruffle your feathers?

blame their parents. They'll be shortchanged on many other things in life if they have parents who can't afford to buy them lunch.

I've often found myself on the other side of discussions with you but honestly, your recent string of posting about schools/migrants seems to be bordering on unhinged. You're clearly very angry about migrants coming to MA. That, by itself, isn't a particularly crazy or uncommon sentiment. But you're connecting almost every single issue to "migrants" and yelling at people to "wake up!" when they call you on your disjointed diatribes. You're not providing reasoned arguments, you're just ranting. Maybe take a couple of days off to unplug a bit? Or if this is your outlet, at least have the self awareness to realize that your vent session is completely devoid of anything remotely resembling logic and stop calling anyone who disagrees with you "delusional."

Again, this is a thread about the Methadone Mile. Not Migrants. Substance abuse and mental health treatment and housing people who are homeless as a result of those conditions are not the same thing as the migrant crisis. Not even close. So the solutions are very different.

As far as solutions go, there's a lot cities and towns across the state can do better. It should start with all communities doing what they can to encourage earlier mental health and addiction intervention in their own back yards. That will look different in different places, but generally, there should be resources available to residents in their own towns. In some cases that could be a municipal, regional, or state funded outpatient facility. In others it could also be an inpatient or rehab facility. There should be an increase of mobile crisis intervention resources. Consistant statewide adoption of co-response programs would help too.

In a nutshell, if you are able to intervene earlier by pluging people into supports closer to home, the likelihood of them ending up living on the street drops drastically. The problem is that the mere suggestion of opening a mental health treatment facility or a rehab facility is going to spark outrage in rural and suburban communities anywhere (and even some cities). NIMBY and all of that. It's much easier to just let "those people" slip through the cracks to the point that the end up in places like Mass/Cass. Then it's a "Boston's problem."

Glad you enjoy it. It will never go out of style. You'll be forced to pay for the mistakes of others as long as you live.

Agree. I think we can all see where it detailed. Usually by a misinformed very vocal poster who just wants to shout their emotions into a keyboard.
