> The lack of a policy for dealing with homeless addicts is a effectively just a policy of keeping them in the poorest neighborhoods. No, becoming a drug addict will keep you in poorest neighborhoods. This is simple cause and effect. And why should drug addicts not live in poor neighborhoods? Why would you move the drug addicts out of poor neighborhoods, but not the non-addicts? You are suggesting policy that incentivizes addiction. > This has not been attempted anywhere. What are you referring to? If you don't live in San Francisco, I'd recommend checking out this recent video: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/12/14/san-francisco-opioid-homeless-llr-orig.cnn https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/12/14/san-francisco-opioi... There are certain blocks of the city in the Tenderloin and SoMa where people are free to shoot up heroin in broad daylight. The city hands out 400,000 free needles to junkies every month. We spend $300 million a year on homeless programs with little oversight or accountability, and recently voted to double that to $600M+. And now they're proposing official safe injection sites in the middle of the city. Is this putting a dent in the addiction problem? No, the city is becoming a dystopian hellscape.
