„Ziel dieses Projekts ist es, die Rue de Strasbourg und die umliegenden Straßen zu entlasten.“ Ich frage mich, wie das schief gehen könnte …

Perfect, this way they don’t need to walk as far to buy drugs
This is called harm reduction. But you had to write an ignorant comment, right?
> I wonder how this could go wrong…
I imagine it could go wrong when nimbys push back against it.
Or, if people imagine drug use will finally be solved by just banning them harder, because the only reason the war on drugs has never been won is we weren’t trying hard enough, right?
Or, if we keep ignoring successful models (like Portugal) who have managed to reduce drug use by treating it as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue…
New neighborhood to avoid just dropped.
Can we make a drop-in center for the struggling-to-afford-housing population? Thank you
I cannot read the article anymore – where is the new center planned? Thanks
I’ll keep an eye on rental prices in the area; maybe that way I can find a decent price.

Very unfortunate this is needed. The drug use reduction strategy in Luxembourg appears to not be effective
perhaps someone should have a look on how the Swiss tackled the issue
I fail to see how rue d’Hollerich is not a „surrounding street“ of Rue de Strasbourg.
Curiously, they don’t plan anything in Belair…
And also, now I understand why the dealers have militarly occupied the entire street, last year. Insider trading.
Finally, how they will avoid that the junkies vandalise the entire area, as they sistematically do everywhere else?
Maybe if we banned drugs harder, prohibition would finally work? (Sarcasm)
These days you can easily and legally buy new synthetic drugs that make stuff like meth or heroin look tame. Drug use is at an all-time high, cocaine demand isn’t going anywhere, and big international bodies like the WHO, UNODC, and EUDA are basically sticking to the same playbook from almost 100 years ago.
At this point in time, there’s plenty of research showing prohibition doesn’t really work. Governments often don’t have the courage to try something different. And as long as that doesn’t change, black markets will thrive and accumulate power, politicians will be corrupted, and institutions will keep eroding.
So… drug taking is perfectly ok but ban those darned nicotine pouches!!! 😳 why regulate something not particularly harmful and deregulate something very harmful?
I guess the developers of new Hollerich are gonna sell those apartments pretty fast…
What an idiotic idea… it will attract even more dealers from Benelux… how come a government cannot clean litterally 4 STREETS of his main city. This is unbelievable
It’s not about the drug use.
They could install one in Belair. Oh wait..
I feel like I’m way out of the loop if the following has been a thing all along:
„One of the main problems in the Gare district, but also in Bonnevoie and other parts of the city, is that many addicts consume their drugs in building entrances. “The aim is to provide them with a safe space, so to speak, so that they can consume without having to do so on the open street.”“
Providing a „safe space“ to consume drugs? Since when was this so normalized? To me it sounds like this is just relocating the problem rather than taking steps to address the elephant in the room and target elimination. Is this the new normal?
Cool, another spot besides Abrigado where I have to lock the doors when driving past with my family.
