no mention in your article about the fact that we are not arresting and prosecting dealers, and the biggest cause of homelessness is drug addiction. People flock here because we allow deals to go unabated and open street use
Adding to this, the police says arresting them makes them not go away. Sure. They are released the same day. But why not KEEP THE DRUGS and THEIR MONEY? This baffles me. This should dry out the supply and the distributors would think twice to risk getting their wares confiscated.

Have to admit that is a good point. Could be an entire topic on its own. Chicken/egg. Thanks.
