"One very important aspect of our drug crisis in NYC and the decision to open a safe injection site in a neighborhood already oversaturated with drug treatment centers, East Harlem, is the impact this has had on the local community. Since the opening of OnPoint, the street of its location and the surrounding blocks have experienced a dramatic increase in open air drug use and dealing. Information has been provided, not included in this article, that many addicts now travel to East Harlem to use OnPoint, the busier of the two safe injection sites opened in Manhattan several years ago. Washington Heights, the other location, has experienced the exact same issues with residents fearing to go out at night. This is the pattern in every city -- the dealers know where the addicts are and the addicts want a welcoming place to continue their addiction. When will the New York Times focus on the escalating concerns and the quality of life issues that impact residents of these communities? When will the New York Times write that article? It is a disgrace to these communities to have mention that residents are opposed at the same time you are portraying these safe injection sites as the saving grace to our drug crisis. It is not -- not only do they enable drug addicts -- they are destroying communities."
