Recognizing that part of the challenge here is that when people use drugs alone, they are more likely to die because there's no chance for intervention if they are not with other people, I think it's really important for us to balance the safety and feelings of safety of all community members with the rights of people who use drugs and with our efforts to keep them safe, so yes, I do think that we should we expand the locations in public spaces where people will not be allowed to use drugs.
