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.

? I was referring to the hyperbolic examples Locke gave of what people who don't live near SAS's are saying to those who do. Point being, most people understand exactly how bad it is, but are weighing the benefits of saving lives/not spreading disease against your discomfort.
If you noticed, I'm one of the ones in favour of SAS's that fully admits I'd be a NIMBY if it happened on my street. That's human nature, and you have every right to have your complaints heard. You just have to understand that society can't put full weight into the opinions of those that live beside something unwanted.
