INSITE IS A MONEY LOSER FOR TOURIST BUSINESSES

Re: Insite can save health care system $20 million, study says, Nov. 18

Is this $20 million the savings after factoring in the loss of income
to Vancouver's economy because tourists are reluctant to spend their
time and money in a city that promotes hard drug use?

After you factor in this amount (and I am suspicious of the report's
financial numbers), Insite is very much a money loser. A money loser
for all honest business owners who depend on the influx of tourists to
provide their bread and butter, not to mention the taxes not collected.

This city will be much better off once we have rid ourselves of this
nonsensical notion.
