| Comment | Yeah man, your experience in dealing with and being around addicts is unfortunately not at all unique and MANY, MANY people have similar experience and know just as well as you. In fact where I grew up has an overdose fatality rate of well over 30 per 100000 which is near double the absolute worst effected post code in all Scotland so the presence of drug use and addicts isn't something I am totally unused to. I know these people aren't the walking dead and can't see in my comment where I said that? I worked in a care capacity with many addicts when I was younger and am not as naïve as you for some reason seem to think I am.
I stayed on Parnie street years ago and all I am saying is that from my experience I don't think it is the best place for this. There is already a lot of issues there and concentrating all of this in one area is not the best method unless we are just going to start a full on skidrow. I am sure Parnie street was chosen as it is an out of the way residential spot that is out of sight and out of mind for tourists and visitors that already has lots dealer and addicts. I think if they parked the thing on Union street where it probably belongs the council would have freaked out. |
