last month that found 2,668 overdose deaths in 2021, compared with 2,103 in 2020. Fentanyl was found in 80 percent of drug overdose deaths in the Big Apple in 2021.The sites have drawn ire from local officials – including Staten Island’s Democratic District Attorney Michael McMahon – who argue the locations harm addicts rather than promote recovery.
“Staten Island is having a real overdose problem. And so we are going to sit down with the DA. I think DA McMahon is an excellent district attorney. We’re going to sit down. We are going to show them the numbers,” said Adams. City Hall will also add a new telehealth and suicide prevention program for high schoolers and expand a program that adds more medical professionals to respond to mental health-related emergency calls.
Why not 50?
Also, open a few crack smoking dens. That's what NYC needs.
How about Gracie Mansion for the next site? NYCMayor PhotoOpEric is a worthless resident there anyway. How about housing the illegals there too, let them use his fleet of SUV's driven by NYPD detail! This 'mayor' is a plunger faced disgrace. NYCisAShithole

Make rehab sites instead
At some point a choice must be msde! Injection city, or Sanctuary?

Any medical professional who would participate in something like this should have their license taken away.
Despicable 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
No.
That’s going to end well!🤣🤣🤣
It’s Health Care! Just for junkies!
That's like telling a drunk they can drive, but you get to be the passenger. It will end badly, much like it has in San Fran.
