The petition isn't triyng to fund raise to get more support for Alpha House or to get their local councillor to get more funding to get staff or security, they just want it moved. Their pitch sounds like, "we saw this guy one time go into Alpha House one day, and when he came out a couple of hours later he didn't look cured, so it's not working and you should move this facility".
It only looks like they want to give the appearance of caring about the users of Alpha House so that it doesn't look as they're just going NIMBY about it.
I feel kind of sorry, but really this is downtown living. There are noises, weird people, weird smells. IF you're this sensitive, you could have moved anywhere downtown. Make the best of it, film stuff, be like the CrackMacs guys and start a blog of the interesting stuff you see.
