I am not sure if the safe injection site is still there and where there is no argument it saves lives I think locally the people who are most against it are the people who live there. I am told that since the Olympics it has clean up some but frankly I wouldn't park my car in the area and expect to have it all when I got back. Even as a fairly big guy I was nervous walking through the area in broad daylight. So where I believe in harm reduction and safe injection sites I do have compassion for the local people who have had their homes in the area for generations and are afraid to walk down the street.
