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.

Is it really over the top? Try leaving the burbs and come visit me for a weekend and you can experience all the benefits of living within 250m of the SIS. We'll park your car on the street so it can be broken into. You can walk my dog at 11pm and be asked for smokes and money and then be threatened as you pass by for not giving them either. Maybe you'll even get to experience someone overdosing in real life and get to call 911. These are the perks of having an SIS set up in your neighborhood.
