I'm going to go out on a limb and say that when people say

"we need to find creative solutions to the housing shortage which has been caused by new yorkers fleeing the shthole that NYC has been morphing into"

they didn't mean

"follow the NYC playbook".

If you don't like safe injection sites you're welcome to not use them. But they're one of the most effective policies for reducing overdose deaths, as well as helping stop the spread of diseases like HIV.

By extending the problem do you mean extending the lives of people who would otherwise die from overdose? Cause it sounds like your solution is to simply let people die preventable deaths.

We're still in record budget years.

Wait untill next budget accounts for the stock market crash / credit crunch and we're surprisingly in deficit territory.
