When poverty, homelessness, and desperation increase, so does crime and theft. And these politicians are correct in that we cannot jail our way out of this problem. Not jailing people doesn't work but neither does jailing them. At least one of these policies doesn't waste money, incarcerate people, and puts the responsibility on the store owners.
