That’s why the bathrooms will show ads 24/7 and the drug safe zones will feature loot drop microtransactions. All participating companies will receive carbon credits. Time to capitalize socialism.
“Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they’re homeless and doing drugs in the first place.”
If conservatives were really about ending homelessness and getting them paying taxes instead of ‘just’ consuming benefits, then they’d be in on this plan of phased rehab and rehousing to accomplish that. It’s an investment they don’t seem to see and I worry they look down on addict as trash not victims, and merely want the homeless* to silently vanish.
*I know it’s not the latest popular word that privileged people use to feel better. Homeless apparently aren’t offended as long as people are talking about the situation and investing time in their future, because stick and stones.
We do that in Finland and there’s still homeless people and drug users in the public bathrooms. It sucks, the drug users particularly can be really threatening towards women especially who want to use those bathrooms they’ve taken over.
Drug use rooms are great, for a lot of things, including helping people get sober. It’s a place you can funnel addicts to and make sure they know the resources that are available and that there are people who want them to live their best life.
Like, it’s not an endorsement anymore than when a parent tells a teenager that if they need a ride home at any time of night when they’re too drunk to drive they won’t get in trouble. And it confuses me why so few people see it that way.

Doing drugs doesn’t imply a problem. UNODC estimates that only 10-15% of drug use is problematic. It’s not reasonable to assume that drug use is an escape from problems, any more than drinking alcohol.
Indeed, alcohol can be a problematic drug and is much more dangerous than most illicit drugs but do you assume that everyone who has a drink is doing so because they have a drinking problem?

“No, that’s socialism and Fox News tells me I should be scared of that word!”
I don’t want to pay for other peoples’ healthcare so I’d rather pay a lot more for an oppressive police force that also takes away my civil rights.
While still paying for other people’s healthcare because that’s how insurance works.
Hell yeah! high five

Drug use rooms would be a good idea.

Willful ignorance fuelled by religious indoctrination that getting out of your head is immoral.

Alcohol is just another (imho very problematic) drug that simply happens to be legal in lots of countries ….
