How about a container to pack up all the junkies, and drop them off somewhere?
That might actually do something to clean up our area!
A needle exchange (instead of handout) could also help.
Or the police keep cracking down on heroin ,and meth .So there is nothing to fill them with .
I suppose the containers cost, installation and maintenance are an example of our tax moneys at work.
