Well, Dan Devaul has finally succumbed to city officials demands shut down his Sunny Acreas. Sunny Acreas is no more because he had an unsafe sober living facility for homeless people. He has been in battle since 2009 over his poor and unsafe conditions.
Lots of feeling come up when homeless people are cast to the street where there are inherent unsafe conditions there also. But is it okay for someone doing a good deed for people to be beyond the law and its own way of requiring safe housing for people.
All 13 residents were off the property by Aug 29 as ordered. And some of the papers play it up that now these people are back on the streets using and drinking again because they are once again homeless. My understanding of the disease of alcholol and drugs are no outide person, places or things can cause another to use.
Also, many people seem to think that Devaul is the heroe and in many ways he might be. But we have laws to protect and guide us. And he is no different, nor you or myself.
