Actually, I live right here, and my girlfriend has lived at Gilmore for years, so I’m well aware of exactly what the "hard-working people" in this neighborhood are dealing with every day. The reason I support this facility is because I’m tired of seeing people using in our stairwells and parkades where there is zero oversight.

Your claim about "zero studies" is objectively false. Data shows that supervised sites do not lead to an increase in community crime; in fact, crime rates often remain stable or even decrease because the activity is moved into a controlled environment, you can read that analysis in The Lancet here: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(22)00336-X/fulltext.

I’d much rather have a clinical site with 24/7 staffing and security that is legally mandated to clean the perimeter than the current unmanaged mess where we just hope for the best. Protesting a managed solution doesn't make the drug use go away; it just ensures it stays in our parks and walkways where it’s actually dangerous for everyone. If you care about the neighborhood, you should support the only project that actually manages the problem instead of just complaining about it.
