Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
We've got a story today about a neighborhood in southwest Bakersfield where a group home for troubled teens wants to expand from six to eight teens. Some of the neighborhood isn't too hot on the idea.Back in my reporting days I remember covering a really fiesty battle over a group home for recovering addicts (drug and alcohol) in the northeast. Neighbors argued it wasn't the right setting. Recovery advocates argued that a neighborhood is exactly  the right place and that recovering addicts shouldn't be shunned to some commercial/industrial area.I remember interviewing residents in another neighborhood where there was a recover group home and none of them cared. What do you all think? Would you want one of these places in your neighborhood?
