Dozens of residents of an upscale southwest Winnipeg neighbourhood are trying to overturn a City of Winnipeg decision to allow a home to be temporarily used for live-in addiction recovery services.

Ninety five separate notices of appeal against the decision have been entered as exhibits for a Sept. 11 hearing, along with an additional 75 letters in support of the appeal (some from the same people who filed notices).

A single letter backing the project, and opposing the appeal, has also been filed.

Winnipeg's NIMBYists on full display here.

It's like this everywhere. Rich folks don't want to see poor people and addicts anywhere, ever. They want everyone locked up and out of mind. They don't think much of their own class doing drugs or whatever as long as the person continues to be a functional addict and hides it well.

Twelve Tribes cult have two mansions right across the street from each other in Winnipeg and nobody cares, but oooooh nooooo some recovering addicts? No way!
