    • cutting interviews out of context to support one's narrativepango
    • 1 demographic they need to have more in the interviews are the people going through that shit.pango
    • It not at all one of the wealthiest cities in North America. It has inflated real estate but very little moneynb
    • “40 people are responsible for 6300 incidents” amazing statnb
    • Not an amazing doc but he does talk to former addicts near the end. Makes a good pointnb
    • Few. Disproportionately more of those inconveniently annoyed by it.pango
    • Yes the housing market is stupidly inflated. People here don't make more or same amount of money compare to other city with similar market.pango
    • I agree with the point that safe supply isn’t truly compassionate and is never going to solve the problem. Most addicts don’t want be addicts, we can do better.nb
    • Most people I know who support safe supply would also freak out if affordable housing was built near their house.nb
    • It’s not really compassion. It’s more “keep them drugged and contained to that street so that my house doesn’t go down in price.” Sad but true.nb
    • safe supply is only a band-aid. shit not gonna change if other shit dont change. and yes it is hypocritical not wanting affordable housing near them.pango
    • i for one welcome affordable housing near me and make my house price go down. fucking tax is stupid high cuz stupid inflated market.pango
    • if affordable housing makes the neighbourhood housing market to go down we should have more everywhere to make housing market to calm the fuck down.pango
    • if safe supply doesn't exist, they are still going to get drugs. and more likely to die from it. also drug dealers makes money from it.pango
    • alternative to "keep them drugged up" is to let them die i guess.pango
