In the News – Moving the Methadone Clinic to the Pine West Plaza

While it has gotten some heckles from the neighbors, it seems like it's a good location especially for those who own cars. A lot of people who are addicted to opioids aren't necessarily from the city, and want a private location they can drive to relatively anonymously and recieve the potentially lifesaving treatment without being harassed by drug pushers as is unfortunately the case in Downtown Albany.

I generally don't support demolishing more of the Albany Pine Bush, but this area is already developed and between two major highways, so it's unikely to be restored to Pine Bush in the foreseeable futrue. But if the land is going to be used, this seems like a reasonable place with good privacy for people to get the healthcare they need.
