Correct. I wasn't as clear as I should have been but you are exactly right. Dogmatic homeless advocates are extremely similar to Evangelical activists: They refuse to allow facts to penetrate their belief system. My mother became a drug addict when I was 3 years old and was homeless and drug addicted until she died in 2015 of an overdose. In the process of trying to help her I became very active in working with the homeless specifically in the Washington DC area and then in Denver. When you actually spend a lot of time and shelters and you're trying to get people to be self-sufficient you start to realize that the advocates who insist that they be given housing without having to give up drugs are absolutely ideologues who care nothing about facts or outcomes. It's a religious crusade to them and it's easy for people like me who grew up in borderline cults to recognize it. It's like a formula of behavior you see. There's a non-zero chance that the evil pieces of garbage that beat this man in the head with a pipe or the guys who stabbed crazy Bob to death were getting fentanyl and free needles provided to them with San Francisco taxpayer funds. I don't mean that the SF government was giving them fentanyl I mean that they were purchasing fentanyl with SF government funds provided to them.
