I used to live right next to the needle exchange in Victoria. My building was the first alcove up, and also hosted an outreach centre. After dark, there would be 8-15 users there every night, in various states of using.
I lived there for a year and never had a single problem. They were unfailingly polite when I needed them to get out of my way to get into the building. I never had a confrontation, never saw needles left behind, and never worried about my place (who's gonna cross a moat of junkies to rob a place?)
I am pro-safe-injection sites.
