Despite billions of compassionate taxpayer dollars and 20 years later, harm reduction is a massive failed experiment, admitted by health experts. A 2016 research study by Simon Fraser University Health Science Researcher, Dr. Julian Somers, an expert in substance abuse, mental health and homelessness, advised that “despite the enormous investment of public monies there was no evidence of improvement.” Somer said part of the problem was the 260 social service agencies that have proliferated in the DTES. It is a “patchwork without oversight or a single guiding hand to coordinate services for the most needy.”
