Been here ten years, and cycling to work is a nightmare. Between every shop owner spraying down the sidewalk with a chemical bath into the street. Then pigeons bathe in it and take flight when you pass. Ensuring you get wet. There are public restrooms everywhere. It's just nonsense to have to deal with. Almost all the banks have studded areas outside to prevent camping. It's been referred to as "celebration of bum culture."
Participate in local government for needle swap programs and safe facilities then.
