Then why does SF have a higher incarceration rate than any European country?
Also higher than almost everywhere in Asian too!
Thanks @chesaboudin for your modern and enlightened modifications to our system of modern slavery.
I think we differ in our interpretation of Friedman. I’m convinced that the steps you are describing would come naturally, after applying free markets. I think you want to do it in reverse, start here, and later deal with the broader system.

I think that there is good evidence to show that increases in enforcement lead to more violence. And Incremental decriminalization reduces violence.

I don’t think so, I think that in particular is a vicious cycle. If people had cheap bread and games here that weren’t drugs, there would be less violence. EU has bread and game available for most. US gives more bread and better games, but only to some.
