I was in the Navy and one of my shipmates got so drunk he passed out on a bench in front of the fountain at the Kings Cross intersection in Sydney. So a prostitute told him he was going to get arrested and when he spoke she realized he was American and somehow one thing leading to the other....
She gave him a bj at 7am during the beginning of rush hour traffic. She later took us to a couple private bars that were creepy and she stole his Levi's later after they had sex and she left
Yep lived there! This was pre-2010, to be certain. Now there’s a safe injecting site, lockout laws, and other things that make the neighborhood less fun
This was probably 1994/95
I stayed there in 2011 and the hotel didn't have wifi. Jet lag led me to sitting on the sidewalk outside McDonald's at 5am to get some internet.
Safe consumption sites save lives and improve communities, blatantly so when compared to the status quo. Fuck outta here with that tired, bloodsoaked, right-wing, reactionary NIMBYism.
You dont care and that dehumanization is why you'll catch an ez block; I'm not rehashing this debate for the nth time.
To those reading on or willing to learn more:

Mate... dunno where to begin with you. I work in these places and I'm 100% for. You sound like you need to address an anxiety or anger problem.
IF that's true:
Doesnt matter if you do; your anecdotal life experience does not make for a better world for people who use.
What's more, im not given to policing my own emotions, nor allowing you to judge my emotions, as if we should be robots. Humans are emotional and biased, acting otherwise doesnt make you the very enlightened voice of logic and reason you seem to think it does -- Thst's just basic manipulative behavior.
With all do buddy...
Enjoy the block 😇
