It’s a tough issue, an idea that comes up time and time again is a green light drinking zone, somewhere off the grid where they may do what they like. Generally residents don’t care what happens to the person drinking or using drugs, they care about the area being clean and presentable to passers by and family.
It’s a problem riddled with a lack of care,
1. lack of care from the user make a scene/mess.
2. And by the public (me included) who truly don’t know what to do with them. which is creating vast amounts of frustration which is adding hate to the problem.
