This is the exact same rhetoric espoused by the residents of the Durand when St. Joseph's was built 130 years ago. Would you rather we keep to the current arrangements, as in, the roof of Jackson Square? It'd be one thing if it were built on King William St, but this stretch of Cannon isn't even west of Wellington Street.
Not one person looks at a safe-injection site and thinks "well, this is a perfect opportunity to take up heroin
"
