As a society you can't always let those loud opinions rule the day either, though, or else you'll never have anything built or dealt with anywhere.

Of course. And peter said the same thing.
Tell me though....was the Safe Injection Site built? Do the residents like it? Is it still there?
There was deemed a need. The facility was constructed. The residents dont like it. The facility remains.
The rest is just people complaining about junkies in their neighbourhood.
Valid complaint? I think so. I'd bet even Mr. Rogers himself wouldnt be overly thrilled with these neighbours.
But this is just complaining about people complaining despite their concerns being quite valid.
And yet the facility remains.
