Just what Celina needs is more low lifes that don't contribute to the well being of the city. None of these people will be productive or pay taxes. Somehow this will become the burden of the overtaxed homeowners. Celina is stupidly greedy and needs to have more people put a stop to their pie in the sky attitude.

It is a sad situation when people like yourself with a elitest attitude lives in our community. You might consider moving to a gated community somewhere in perfectville maybe you can find all your perfect people to live with.

Just for Larry's information...I live in a elitest community with gates. I have worked my entire life the right to oppose a rehab facility that my TAX dollars will have to support. I pay over $20,000 each year to property and school taxes and can't even get Celina to put a missing street sign. I need to be able to see what I spend that amount of money for. In real life I better have something really special to show for that kind of money like a nice horse or a new diamond ring.

wow a horse or a diamond ring. Those are really things that you can't live without. maybe if you didn't have a million dolalr house you wouldn't have 20.000 in taxes. Your greed got you where you are now live with it.

Hmm, I'm not to happy about this rehab going in either. I live a mile maybe a mile and a half from this building. Let's face it. These are not productive people. These are not people that I want walking the streets that my child walks. This rehab is approx. a mile from an elementary school. Lets all face reality! ALOT of people who are addicted to drugs are also criminals. This building is not going to be a club med. These people are not going to be alcoholic house wives. This is a state funded facility that is going to be taking people who are avoiding prison time by choosing rehab. Which means they have already committed a crime and are not really wanting to be rehabbed, they just want it more than they want to go to prison. And I'm expected to say YAHOO bring in the addicts and lets rehab them. Screw that. Lets bring them to your city a mile from your house and see how you like it. It's easy to sit 20 or 25 miles away and make judgement. Just remember. This is our community and we have to live here.

Some addicts, yes have committed crimes....but the commission of crimes is brought on by the addiction. Addictions are quite powerful. But there are productive people under the addiction. This facility will be rehabilitating these productive people under the addictions. Maybe you should try volunteering and meeting some of the addicts. Listen to their testimonies. Listen to how they got there and where they once were. They are people just like me and you, not animals like you obviously think.

Umm, no they are not people like me. I do not have a terrible addiction to an illegal substance. I have never commited a crime to support an addiction. They may have been like me at one time in thier lives, but not any more. This addiction will be a life long fight for them. I know that they are people and I wish them the best. I wish there was something I could do for them, but there is not. Yet, I do not feel even a tiny bit guilty for not wanting them here. I want my child to be safe with out being a prisoner in our home or under constant supervision. I will not be volunteering and I do not want to hear there stories. How depressing is that? I think that is something better left to the professionals. I do volunteer with my daughter at our local nursing home and find it very gratifying.

Holier than thou are you? Well, be careful....addictions are like the wind...they attack when least expected. Please shelter that child of yours and wait to see how she handles real life. You are more dangerous and toxic to her than the addicts down the road....you will see.

umm I do live less than a mile from this facility if you must know. Everybody deserves a chance to get thier shit straight again. I went to school and played ball in Celina, and I still live here. Yes a rehab facility might not be what your hoping for but it will still be better than the empty building that took the place of the horrible "retirement" home that was there. Would you rather we just throw them all in already overpopulated prisons and forget about them. How do you know who these people are? How do you know that some of these people aren't good people. Should I even bring up casting stones? I'm sure you've lived a perfect life and have never done any wrong at all.

Wow, This much over a rehab facility that will prob. last less that 5 years and does have a good success rate, Well I also guess some of the statements also need to be looked at closer as well cause walking the streets and as a choce not to go to jail that is not the case for it all guess what they arent allowed to walk the streets and its a judge that sends them not themselves

I think the rehab is a great idea, there are so many people in these surrounding small towns that need the help ans support of this rehab. with or without the rehab your going to have criminals walking the streets.

Hmm, not doing it for me. So they have still commited some kind of crime, and is this a prison or a rehab? Are they in lock down? Lord that is worse if you ask me!
