Closing these sites will have disastrous consequences, especially for women, children and people who are unhoused.

Fucking NIMBYs ruining everything for everyone.
- There is an issue they we need more then just safe consumption sites. We need the support network to help people get out of the situations that are causing them to use. And we don’t have that.
  
  You're right, but that's not a reason to close safe injection sites. Generally, we need to stop treating addicts like criminals. Addiction is a disease, and the corrective action is healthcare.
  
  Safe injection sites are clearly a part of that support network.
