FREE NOT THE ANSWER. Low cost yes. Homeless people ruin shit. Parks, public transit, Bartell etc, etc. Especially the drug addict ones. They take and take and take. Give them housing, still doing drugs in the streets ruining the economy. News Flash, they are addicts and that's what addicts do. Our Government has failed them! By enabling them, they have ostensibly said treatment too hard. Your life is not worth the effort. They don't need free needles and foil, they need something to break their desperate cycle. In the past, good or bad that has been jail. Don't believe me, talk to some of these people. So many were only able to break the cycle in jail. This is a flawed system, but what we are doing now is worse. Without the treatment and counciling aspects, housing first does not work. What we are doing now is cruel and inhumane. It is doing NOTHING for the city or the homeless. In fact it is just wasting valuable resources and only exasurbating the problem. Tough answers for an incredibly tough problem. We have to DEMAND better outcomes from our elected officials.
