Epoch Times: An Orange County supervisor in California says an increase in sober living homes in the county has sparked concern among many county residents, who say they’ve seen an uptick in recovering addicts in their communities, along with increases in property crime and vagrancy.
Supervisor Don Wagner spoke with The Epoch Times about his efforts to bring to light some issues that can arise from these recovery homes in Orange County.
“The problem is you’ve got these sober living homes sprouting up, and in many ways, they are unregulated. The problem is, they’re also unregulatable,” he said.
Wagner explained that the Americans with Disabilities Act limits the county from taking action to mitigate potential problems. State law, he argues, also prevents measures from being taken on a county or city level. more
Thank you, GHWB. I’m glad I only had the opportunity to vote for you once.
So druggies are disabled like my friends with limbs missing through no fault of their own? Huh! Didn’t know that. So do they also get disability checks also?
New Dem voters in Orange County.
You can bet the dirtbags are being seeded into the nicer areas to screw up the home values even more. They want the lone republican stronghold permanently eradicated. Next they’ll install toilet paper holders on the sidewalks citing the same logic as the needle program.
I’m so glad that I live in the country.
no worries sheeple, these are just half way houses for drunk sheeple that can’t finish their drink and passout with the glass or bottle half full.
all half way houses are managed by Foster Brooks

Sounds like some people have tapped into a state government grant / zoning scam. I’d be checking to see if these places had a second front door installed.
Orange County…They harvest votes there, don’t they?
This has been going on since the 90’s. The treatment centers in the deserts send people to the beach after their initial detox and sign them up for stays of 90 days to 6 moths. Newport Beach has been the hub of recovery since the 80’s and people in AA who speak go on tour and have a cult like following.
There is big money to be had and everyone and their brother started opening up homes in the early 90’s to make some cash.
my sons an alcoholic. He’s been in many of those in phoenix. I was shocked to learn that he was the only drunk there. All the others were meth, crack.

Completely controlling other people is the goal of progressives. Doesn’t matter if they are doing better than the progressive that wants to control them.
Last time I pointed this out to my most-lefty friend he walked away. He really couldn’t argue against it.
We should just sing that Sunshine song from long ago when they try this crap.. “He can’t even run his own life, I’ll be damned if he’ll run MIIINE!”

LA spent over 600 MILLION dollars last year on the problem.
Whose pocket did that money go into??
Exactly like obama’s trillion dollar ‘stimulus’ bills, that enriched his pals, and helped no one.
