SKEWING THE DRUG SURVEY

If you want to see the true feelings about the four-pillar approach to 
drugs, tell people the infrastructure of the program will be set up in 
Kerrisdale and watch the numbers swing in the opposite direction (Vancouver 
residents soften views on drugs, Jan. 31). Of course, they support it -- it 
doesn't affect them.

Those it does affect, like business and citizens' groups, are labelled 
intolerant and simply not listened to. Why? Because the rest of the city 
was polled and supported keeping the drug problem exactly where it is.
