DRUG OR MENTAL REHABILITATION CENTRE” and similar use which could negatively impact the residential neighborhood especially in light of the “concentration” that would emerge. A city of Windsor made up of ghettos would likely emerge and this has always historically proven to be a negative city planning practice as far as area “concentration” of certain kinds of institutions or “multioccupant specialized care facility" (centers / residences) are concerned.

I wish to point out that I make this submission without prejudice and solely out of concern for the neighborhood I live in and the livelihood, safe and peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood by all that live in this part of the city.

To fully explain the concerns:

In the below for example, Horowitz's comments were naturally received attachment with dislike by the operators of the center who perceived his comments as discriminatory instead of the reality.

I have to say that in personal experience as a resident that moved into the area from Toronto not long ago, I would agree with his assessment and concerns as I have experienced firsthand the impact he refers to here, but also prior to that in the greater Toronto area before that.

As a resident, In the last 7-10 years nearly all my immediate neighbors have either had or “attempted In instances where the perpetrators have been “break-ins” break-ins”. identified, there appeared to be “drug addiction” and “homelessness” involved at least in my experience and that of a neighbor whose home was actually broken into and a valuable personal computer among other things were taken.

Among my other personal firsthand experiences:

You are having a haircut (on Wyandotte st.) and someone intoxicated walks into the “barbers store”, elusively offering the owner a “lawnmower” or “laptop computer” for sale for example, or into a retail store and interrupting trade while proposing to sell “Windsor Transit tickets” in exchange for “cash”, often making everyone in the store feel very uneasy and insecure. This kind of experience sends one message to a “stay away for your safety”. customer

This has had a detrimental effect on commerce and consumers in the area alike and understandable concern as was well explained by “Horowitz” quoted in the Windsor Star a while back(per attachment).
