The rest of the block and the surrounding blocks are a madhouse - and, as you pointed out in your article, were so long before Insite was opened. The only people Insite affects - and its effects are positive - are those who are immersed in intravenous drug use. I feel as safe on the "100 Block" as I do anywhere else in the city.
