I know they’re from all over and it should be a distributed problem. How about we make every town share the burden? They did this with the projects building them in towns like Arlington where there are better schools.

Areas with high cost of living probably have high cost of labor too.

I’m fine with distributing it equally across the commonwealth. As long as we aren’t seriously displacing people from family.

There also needs to be the treatment infrastructure in place which boston has going for it. They could build clinics right into these places and have substance abuse counselors, mental health specialists and nurse practitioners on hand to take care of medical needs and detox.

There also need to be jobs for these people. I mean in more rural areas they could run their own farm and grow their own food and stuff.

Maybe locate them near vocational training? My brother said ford mechanic school is free now bc of a shortage of workers.
