Dylan Delgado February 11, 2013 Com & Legal Practice NAAH vs John King Trust Based on the

evidence and testimony, I believe that it is obvious that the John King Trust cannot be forced to be exiled from this neighborhood simply because of the fact that the Neighborhood against AIDS Homes is uncomfortable with AIDS being in their neighborhood. While this is not the only reason the NAAH is opposed to the home being used as a medical facility, it is the base of their general discomfort. However, although the law is on the side of the AIDS home, compromises must be made to accommodate to the residents of the neighborhood, especially those who have been living in the neighborhood before the home was used as a medical facility. With safety being the primary issue for both parties involved, it is imperative that every single measure is taken to ensure the well-being of the residents of the AIDS home as well as the residents and members of the NAAH. Traffic and noise created by ambulances required for the house is one example of an issue that the residents would need to overcome. To achieve the maximum level of safety of the patients of the house as well as the safety of the residents of the neighborhood, especially children, heavy ambulance presence is a necessity. An issue that can be resolved for the NAAH would be the fact that, after this is all said and done, residents would be under constant supervision and be run more like a hospital than a residency. This will also increase the safety for both parties involved.

Going along with this, the house must apply for a healthcare facility permit acknowledging its medical use. It would also need to hire medical professionals to ensure proper precautions are taken at all times. This should give the residents of the neighborhood a little more comfort knowing that everything is being done properly and professionally. Under the Federal Fair Housing Act, people cannot be forcibly removed from their place of residence based on race, gender, and mental or physical disabilities or illnesses. AIDS would obviously fall into this category so, under the eyes of the law, the residents of the AIDS home would be able to continue living at the house as long as they wish. This cannot be changed, but as long as the proper care is taken, I believe that both parties can be pleased equally.
