Letter to the Editor: DESC is Not a Positive Addition to Burien

A resident has written to express their opinion on the DESC in Burien, stating that it is "a drug den" and "just a better tent" for the cost that taxpayers pay.

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 if the facility provides effective treatment for substance abuse and helps residents become contributing members of society.

The author suggests that if the facility only provides a better living situation, there may be other locations that could offer similar services at a lower cost to taxpayers.

The author emphasizes the importance of setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bounded) in planning, along with rationalizing these goals and documenting their implications.
