As for needle exchanges good/bad: Good, but why doesn't AVI have a policy against people hanging around outside their door? Other social services attempt to be "good neighbours", but AVI seems not to have bothered with this step.

Also in 2005 they took in over a million syringes. That is an insane volume. What we need is better policing or a safe injection site.
The removal of those caught dealing near there would help, again, a criminal issue for the police.

I have a Grid Project photo up of the AVI building. More notable than the photo itself is the set of notes on the photo. You can check it all out [url=http://flickr.com/photos/walter_moar/383311245/:9a3cc]here[/url:9a3cc].
What time in the morning do they do the street-sweep?

What time in the morning do they do the street-sweep?
7:am, before the office workers head downtown. The police usually come by earlier and wake everyone up.

How do they wake them up? Shoot 12 times in the air?

So lets legalize all drugs then. Seriously. That takes the profit out of selling it (thus eliminating dealers and gang-land crime), and lowers the price of drugs so users don't have to do petty crime to support their habit.
I'm quite serious. I don't see any distinction between alcohol or any other drug.
Are you talking mere decriminalization or government actually getting into the drug business like they do with liquor?
I can't conceive of any scenario that would reduce the organized crime element. Even if it were possible for the government to get into the drug trade who's to say the existing drug network won't simply undercut the government?

I followed the google ads that appear with this topic and found Cedars at Cobblehill.. It is presented much like a fine hotel...

How many overdose deaths have actually occurred in Victoria? What infectious diseases HIV or otherwise have actually been spread? And are these people really going to the emergency room for help? Where does the 2.8 million in health care costs figure come from?

I'd be worried if I thought there was the faintest chance they'd get the legal exemption from the current federal government.
Vancouver got theirs extended under Harper.
