I'm curious what your suggestion would be for an alternative? As said before, they're going to do these drugs regardless of these facilities existing. So are they better off doing it in public spaces near children, pets, etc., leaving needles out where people can step on them or get pricked? Or inside a building where they public isn't exposed to or in danger from it?

In an ideal world these places wouldn't be needed, I agree. But we don't live in an ideal world.
