Letter to the Editor: DESC is Not a Positive Addition to Burien
A resident has written to express their opinion on DESC in Burien, stating that it is essentially a "drug den" and "just a better tent" for the money taxpayers pay for it.
DESC in Burien is a drug den. Essentially, it is just a better tent.
The author questions the return on investment for Burien taxpayers, asking what outcomes residents can expect in terms of treatment for substance abuse and becoming contributing members of society.
- Treatment for substance abuse
- Becoming a contributing member of society
The author suggests that if DESC is just a better tent, there are other locations that would cost taxpayers far less than the cost in downtown Burien.
The author emphasizes the importance of setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bounded) in serious planning, along with rationalizing these goals and documenting their implications.
Author's summary: Resident criticizes DESC in Burien as ineffective.
