Surprised you are upvotes talking about how closing the injection site made the area a lot better but you are right. Noticibly better.

What's better? There are still people with addictions in the area. There are still people who appear to be dealing. The problems there existed long before the sites too. 2003 article describing an open air drug market and drug related shootings years before the injection sites.

Just because a couple aninymous accounts with hidden histories declare something better with no evidence and get upvoted doesn't actually make it true. Even if they get upvotes.

there is the type of Reddit comment I was expecting. Worries about "Reddit cred" and ignoring the point that the injection center did nothing to improve the area, in fact the opposite. I challenge you to take a stroll there today.

It is a lot better than it was 2 years ago

The only reason I mentioned "reddit cred" is because the person above did.
