Editor,
San Mateo’s recently adopted strategic plan, initiatives and recommittal of resolution 24 contain numerous social justice goals for San Mateo. Resolution 24 states that the city seeks to promote and enhance the health, safety and welfare for all its residents. It goes on to say we will respect and support every resident of the community and deliver essential services that promote a safe quality of life all the while being the model of inclusion and equity.
The strategic plan focuses on integrity and diversity with the inclusion of transparency. The promotion of a healthy community for all ages is intended to provide an environment that empowers all community members to thrive. This directly includes services and programs to support people of all ages and ability for their mental, emotional, physical and social well-being.
These goals are backed up with a promise of integrity through ensuring transparency and accountable for all city actions. Community engagement is intended to inform, educate and encourage feedback from all community stakeholders.
Nowhere in these documents does it exclude those struggling from any physical disease or ailment such as alcohol, illicit drugs or mental ailments. The state approved Horizon Detox center at 101 N. El Camino Real is a tangible way to implement our stated goals of supplying healthy lifestyles for all our neighbors.
I encourage all the residents on San Mateo County to actively support the detox center at its approved location which will give the county a haven for those needing lifesaving medical attention.

No thanks, Mr. Ebneter. If this detox center is fulfilling a woke agenda, we don’t want it. Go woke, go broke, as the saying goes. In fact, I would hope that if this detox center is placed on El Camino, that the opposition musters up lawfare, as needed, to delay the project as long as possible. Until a more appropriate location is selected. After all, we don’t want delays to keep the county from being a haven for those needing lifesaving medical attention.
