Councilperson Jeffrey Young Jr, answers questions from Fairmount residents about the homeless services center at 2100 W. Girard Ave. Tuesday, May 14, 2024that while Americans acknowledge the general need for opioid addiction treatment facilities, they don’t like these services to be located near where they live.
Half our respondents saw a “redistributive” bill, where residents with a household income greater than their state’s median income would pay $55, and those below the median income would pay $5. The other half of our sample saw a “need-based” bill, where respondents living in areas with high opioid overdose rates would pay $55, and those in areas with low overdose rates would pay $5.
