The proposed facility, with its windows and outdoor balconies on the south side, will have a commanding view of the parade grounds and obstacle courses at MCRD, less than 200 yards away. The vets will be able to hear the bugle calls over the PA, which I even hear at my home about 800-yards away. It will bring back LOTS of memories.

If that’s not enough, the balconies on the west side overlook the outdoor play area for the new commercial dog boarding facility that adjoins the proposed VA building. For Iraq and Afghanistan, dogs often carried IED’s, and were feared.

Yes, this seems like an ideal location for Vets with PTSD.

Let’s face up to the facts, when the VA initially chose this site the landlord never revealed that they had leased the adjoining buildings to a school, and dog boarding facility. By the time the VA discovered what had happened, it was to late.

All Vets know that the VA is a lumbering bureaucracy, and sets its mind to something, its difficult to change course. Regardless of whether it is in the best interest of the Vets it is supposed to be helping.

Sorry, couldn’t resist after re-reading some of the comments- You Ms Ducey, even stated you visited Viet Nam VETS in the hospital, and then complain the facilitiy is 22 feet from the children-like your were when you visited the Wounded Heroic(YOUNG MEN) it must have effected you, look at what you turnned out to be-GEE we would’nt want those chidren to ever get the idea that they could be Executive Editor, Mayor, Congress man-woman or actually want to make a difference after they have been in contact with men that have sacrificed something for them to become Something.

Respectively Ms Ducey-BACK TO THE KITCHEN and rattle those pots and pans, I worked for years in Plans and Operations for the Army and this is the number one problem no woman could achieve results unless carried by a male soldier. The VERY LAST PLACE ON EARTH that a Veteran wants to be is BACK ON THE BASE. Maybe you subscribe to the idea purposed inthat Famous French movie “El Capitian”, that all old soldiers are now unfit for society and should be summarily executed after the war.

It’s true there’s an elementary school just across the street from the site where they plan to put a mental health treatment center and residence for homeless vets.

But it’s also true that the building they chose hangs over a the Interstate 5 freeway with air and noise pollution and no outdoor patio or rec space on a street with all-day noise from a school playground and crowded, frustrating traffic conditions 2x a day in a neighborhood that isn’t zoned for a mental health hospital.

A strange choice for vets with PTSD or brain trauma injuries if that’s who the center takes in which would be great since they need it the most. Maybe, just maybe, it would be a better idea to put it somewhere else in a city with lots of empty buildings, some with quiet and open spaces and already zoned as needed.

Not sure why they chose this spot but whether they go ahead as planned or put it somewhere else there’s little danger it won’t happen. San Diego does support vets and if there’s any controversy it’s about where, not if, this center (and hopefully many more like it– 40 beds for wounded war vets is hardly enough) will be built.
