Most of other information I have looked into not relating to this safe injection site seem to indicate something similar, that most of the programs/methods are either ineffective or completely overwhelmed to the point they are simply ineffective in denting the issue.
There's more information earlier in the thread, but many are annoyed that the set up was described like a safe injection site for users to have a safe place to use. Instead, the current iteration is more like a dispensary.
I might be exaggerating, but I feel like it's more like sticking those hand sanitizer dispensers in front of a clinic in the middle of a flu epidemic, as opposed to offering a flu shot at said clinic during said flu epidemic. The whole damn thing just seems like it was half assed.
I think arguably, it's at least a step towards a resolution in a situation which doesn't look easy to solve.
