I know someone who is working on a “drug treatment program” in NY City, where they house the drug addicts in hotels taken over for that purpose, and then supply them with drugs, needles, etc...
Their notion is - the “patients” don’t go outside to the street for drugs where it is “dangerous,” and they can be monitored and treated for addiction since they live in city-controlled housing
Its sheer insanity.
In WA fine cities, they began years ago, highlighting the motels on the strip as housing drug addicts and hookers, and began pushing for the demolition of these private businesses “for the good of the community”. They demolished some, and sold the property to nicer motels and hotels, in exchange for the Best Western and other places remodeling for the homeless and addicted can live their while cleaning up. The problem is, there are no rules that they must be in treatment, cannot be using drugs, alcohol or running prostitution rings out of them. The same business model that a small hotel was using, is now run by HIGH VALUE businesses, and their paying clients are THE TAXPAYER.
When they destroy a city like this, they then have more voters who will show up at city council meetings, or lose their “fat gig”. They then are used as a reason for more mass transit, then the people like them are moved farther out of the city center and the process is repeated.
