I agree that the clinic could go into these neighborhoods just as much as they can go into Breaside or a light industrial area. I think that the biggest ball in this whole thing was dropped by the city itself. The clinic tried first to move into an industrial area but were shut down for zoning issues. Something that could have been resolved in a couple of days tops and there would never be a problem. So they tried a few more places and were chased out before they could setup because people were uneducated about what they do and who they are.
There are numerous posts on here of people that discovered they live or have lived close to a different clinic and have never known. They have not seen an increase in crime, they have not seen drug dealers, they do not see needles lying in playgrounds. It is just another place in their area, just like an office or 7-11.
