Access to shelter. Like, if you're homeless, you have somewhere to stay. Simple concept that definitely exists already, we just need more of it in SF. Is your argument that these shelters shouldn't exist?

My argument is that opening shelters without stipulation are a bad idea. If you open a shelter, drug testing and mandatory work of some sort should be required. Sheltering people without stipulation is bad policy.

What's good about a policy that turns an addict away from shelter because they succumbed to their addiction? What good does that do for anyone?

It’s more moral to discourage addiction than to create conditions that encourage it.

Our system of prohibition encourages addiction, it is immoral not only because of the violence it brings to innocent communities, but also because its provably counterproductive.

I never said to jail them. You can offer a choice of forcible rehab or jail for them though. Although, most drug sentences are for selling or are in conjunction with other serious crimes rather than just possession of drugs.

Or you know, you could expect people to behave like adults and work so that this isn’t a problem.
