Why? What's wrong with a drug-addicted person making their little apartment gross?

  Watch an episode or two of Hoarders and tell me it seems delightful to just let people live that way. If we're giving people housing because it's not okay for them to live that way, then I can't accept that also it's okay for people to live in such squalor simply because they have a roof over their head. That's just a personal opinion though. eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WYO8fL_iMs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WYO8fL_iMs https://www.aetv.com/shows/hoarders https://www.aetv.com/shows/hoarders

    What does that have to do with people having a drug addiction? Are there people who goad and have addictions? Sure. It’s not like that show is 100% drug addicts though. In fact that show is literally 0% homeless people. So it’s a complete red herring.

  It’s not that it’s gross. It’s legitimately a threat to the city. Not just rats and other diseases. But large scale fires are a very real problem when people are cooking meth inside of high rise buildings. I have several fire fighter friends that have had multiple calls in a single evening from some of these places that provide free homeless housing. It’s a very real drain and safety threat to the city.

    Hell there was one just last week (not in a high rise). https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-house-drug-lab-explosion-fire-sunset-district-neighbors/ https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-hous...
