I like that Andrew brought up the idea of containment. I've lived in the major cities he described and it's the same pattern. It's invisible to the well off neighborhoods. The poor neighborhoods have to live with it. The fact that it's always been there - just hidden.
Re: tech - it def disrupted the fabric of the city. As quickly as it came (gentrification, raising rents) and as quickly as it left (residents losing adjacent jobs), it's been bad for the people who had to live through it without high paying tech jobs.
I liked that Andrew touched on the opioid epidemic and how it's spiraled. Heavy policing historically disenfranchised poor minorities so that's not the way to go. Progressive policies were tried and the people pushed back.
I wish there was a single solution. It feels like we fell off a cliff and the only way up is to crawl back up.
