I have a two friends that work in mental health and addiction.

Anderson has huge homeless and drug addicted populations.

Listen, I'm not looking for your opinion on drug addicts, either your opinion on what you THINK the neighbors will think or feel about  a Sober Living house being in their neighborhood.  

My son is battling addiction which is where I discovered what a sober living home is.

If you're particularly sensitive to it, I don't see any point in making yourself miserable over it.The other thing about smokers is that apart from a very rare few that are somehow able to maintain a habit of only a couple a day without it gradually becoming more, most of us are addicted to it to varying degrees.

The left is catering to addicts, criminals and migrants. 

(I am assuming that you don't have direct experience with addiction and recovery, or have experience as a therapist.)You will not be welcome as a sober home operator, yourself.

Something screwy in there and your new partner could be their crazy ex or drug-addicted kid down the road.  

Not because I think he deserves it, but because I'd imagine based on the fact that he needed a place to sleep for his buddy that he is, or at the very least, his buddies are, drug addicts.

That's just engineered addiction, rewarding chatty, affirming bullsh#t to keep you scrolling instead of calling out your dumb ideas.
