I think another obligation of a society that truly wants to tackle this is to help provide a life that is “better” than addiction, so to speak. Addictive drug use is frequently a symptom of a deeper root issue (long-term pain, physical abuse, homelessness, etc) and functions as a means of escape, so the solution is often much more holistic than just getting someone off drugs.
- hbn 4y agoThere should be programs introduced to educate the drug addicted and homeless that if they cut out the bad habit, pick themselves up by their bootstraps, and work 7 full-time jobs and/or win the lottery, they too can own a home in Vancouver one day.

There are actual, objective space constraints that mean not everyone can have a SFH in a city hemmed in by mountains, ocean, and an international border. You might have to settle for an apartment. That apartments are expensive and not as nice as they should be in ways they could be is another matter entirely, and one I will take your side on every day of the week! But limited supply of land leading to exhorbitant prices can't really be avoided.
