Thanks.
It says things are better but not by what margin.
Wait, so those opposed to safe injection sites are nimbys, who also fund such sites, who dont care about people and then you drop this gem? Sounds like some good ol fashioned NIMBYism to me.

I am generally opposed to the increasing NIMBY sentiment prevalent across our cities where residential property owners are able to exercise their collective voices to stop construction, development, or programs that they personally do not like - no matter the expense to the public good.
That goes for pipelines, condos, and safe injection sites. We have massive problems, and the solution is not to ignore the problem just because there is some short-term hardship.
This goes doubly for safe injection sites, in my opinion. Opposition to which ignores the immense hardship and misery of our fellow citizens because maybe seeing it up close will make you a little bit uncomfortable or inconvenienced.
The immorality of that position leaves me a bit incredulous, to be honest.
