"We worry that when we're not here, what happens to those 50 people? … Where will they go and will they survive?" he said. "Every single day, I'll take my dogs out in the morning and I have to make sure there's no one sitting in my doorway shooting up or smoking crack," she said. Joanne Shepherd, who manages a bar in the area, said she has befriended some people who regularly visit the consumption site."Sometimes, it's hard," she said. "Some people can't even work here because you see people overdosing across the street."
Jennifer Galusha, who has accessed KMOPS before, also said people will continue using drugs in the area, regardless of whether the site shutters."I'm really grateful for them and they did save me," she said.
