People complain about crime and stuff here but many don’t point to the systemic issues we deal with by having a disproportionate about of prisons and, for some reason, being a location of choice for dangerous offenders when they are released.

So, the DRC wants a safe consumption site and jail to open up Downtown lol? I'd say the last two points are/were provided by social agencies like Bissell, Boyle and Hope, but they've all had funding cut in some way over the last couple of years. I'd say the GOA is responsible for all of those...
