I certainly expect that there's a problem to solve here, but it's completely obvious how much this writer is trying to steer my opinion by the third paragraph. I can't treat this as journalism, it's just a constant stream of appeals to emotion and accusations.

Does anyone here pass through that area? How bad is it actually?

The twitter account linked in the article is pretty grim. Link is here, but be warned, its graphic: https://twitter.com/DTenderloine

Well of course it is - any persuasive piece is only going to link to sources that push the same position it does. That's why I was asking for a personal experience of the place.

My expectation is that there is a drug problem in the area, the 'article' is exaggerating it by an order of magnitude, and that that the real goal is political and not humanitarian.
