The thing is that you can give people every resource and they still will go where they feel like it. Whether because they don't care or because they lack the mental facilities to make reasonable decisions due to mental health issues. There may not be a very good and safe answer for dealing with some folks.

Absolutely should give the resources, but be aware that won't ensure they use those resources instead of doing things a way that is unsafe and/or unfairly inflicting problems on folks.

If only we had some real life data to see if things like safe injection sites work................ oh well I guess we'll just have to make assumptions instead.

He laid out that that sort of accommodation is available, just that some people will still fail to avail themselves of it.

It may be even mostly working around his library, but that doesn't mean there still are people falling to use those facilities.
