What do you think?

Barbara Silver-Smith and Crystal Rhoades have applied for a federal contract to run a halfway house for federal inmates at 3107 S. Elm-Eugene St. The Greensboro Zoning Commission on Monday night rejected the application for a special-use permit, but Silver-Smith and Rhoades will appeal. The building that would house the inmates has businesses on three sides. Single-family homes are across the street, and other neighborhoods are nearby. Is this facility in this location a good idea? Why or why not?
