I think the conceptual shift that scares some people is it complicates the government's idea of criminality, which is supposedly objective, but is in reality deeply racist, by embracing the idea that harm is complex and reparations is by necessity not a fixed proposition.
This level of minor crime is cheaper than the mass incarceration cure we are attempting. We should choose a different more humane path, it's more effective at addressing violent crime.

So, we just allow that to run rampant, like the current DA in SF wants to? That's ridiculous. Gangs, dealers and others have made large parts of the city uninhabitable or un-walkable. People don't feel safe on the streets. This is 100% directly due to lax policy and enablement

Humane yes definitely. But it’s not at all clear to me how the proposed, and mostly implemented, solution addresses the humanity of all involved.
