'cause the majority of people on the registry aren't pedos at all.

All exist in my neighbourhood. It's quite a nice neighbourhood too, it's just in the center of a major capital city so yeah, there are a few other people around and apparently they all need amenities.
>*military recruitment center >*24 hour waffle house >*waste treatment plant
I've got a 24 hour diner within walking distance.
Never lived near anything smellier than a drain or more militaristic than the Salvation Army though. The waste treatment is about the only thing I'd think twice on, I guess. I'd probably end up standing outside a military recruitment center handing out leaflets for IT courses.

but I currently have all of them (no waffle house, but a 24hr. diner) in my neighborhood except for the waste treatment plant.
The biggest problem we've ever had is that the transport service for the group home uses one of those mini bus/limo things...and the driver can't drive for shit....
9. "It depends on the zoning" In response to Reply # 0
If the area is zoned appropriately for whatever exposure is going to go in there, then I think a resident has an uphill battle complaining.
If the local government is changing the zoning to generate add'l tax revenue, foist off public works onto a private entity, cave to pressures from the business sector, etc., then yeah, NIMBY.
